Quitting

I'm giving up the rat race

gonna quit my job

Gonna go live off the land

an organic enviro-snob

 

Gonna grow my own potatoes

carrots, peas and beans

Live off fruits and vegetable

eat lots of salad greens

 

My food will taste like proper food

not of wax or pesticides

And every day I will receive

a big thanks from my insides

 

I'll generate my power

form a windmill or two

then hydro bill and services

I'll say good bye to you

 

For work I'll tend my garden,

chop down trees for fire-wood

I'll be getting so much exercise

I'll never have felt so good

 

To relax I'll keep on writing

poems such as this

telling of the good life

sharing all my bliss
