They're burning the stubbles of yesteryear's fields Before ploughing. Walls of fire around every farm. Smoke blends with the smell of pig's furtilizing manure, And whenever my nose wrinkles up I remember my father's words: *It's the result of millennia of agricultural tradition. It's the smell of money. It's the smell of soil to bread. It's the smell of something far more important Than nasal comfort.* He had me at -Where he should have said- Organic.

Of Fire and Feaces
They're burning the stubbles of yesteryear's fields Before ploughing. Walls of fire around every farm. Smoke blends with the smell of pig's furtilizing manure, And whenever my nose wrinkles up I remember my father's words: *It's the result of millennia of agricultural tradition. It's the smell of money. It's the smell of soil to bread. It's the smell of something far more important Than nasal comfort.* He had me at -Where he should have said- Organic.
