Resting on the farm gate
taking in some air
I saw a passing family
stop and intently stare
“what's that” said a little girl
sucking on some juice
“they are the dairy goats
it's milk they produce”
where is your cheese straw plant
or your burger tree
or the bush that has the eggs
or the giant that makes the pea
We saw all the averts
and the picture on the wrap
factories is where our food comes from
said the back to front baseball cap
why do you have a gate
we are entitled to roam
said the baseball cap, head down
looking at his phone.
The country is for nature
a place where we can play
and to stop global warming
with solar panels array
luckily they had to leave
and raced back to their car
hoping to miss the traffic jams
I hope they travel far
