A Limerick from Lee

Today my good friend Lee Johnson sent me a limerick...

 and it's too much fun to keep to myself! 

I know a young woman from Nine Mile

She gardens with joy in a new style

When I bring her some wood

She asks, "If we could?"

"In this pit we should build a big pile."

Good wood in the ground is a shame

Firewood cutters might be prone to claim

No smoke, fire or heat

No burning to warm up your feet

Some see it a waste, with no flame!

But the heat in the ground happens slow,

Helping all of those vegetables grow.

A process of making food from wood:

Slow burning this way is surely as good

As the harvest will deliciously show

Thank you, Lee, for telling the Wood for Food story in a poem, and for your tremendous effort in bringing wood for the slow burn!
