A Visit From Saint Sustainability

'Tis the night before Christmas
and all through the soils
many creatures are stirring
to lessen our toils.

With Vilsack in our stockings and Salazar in our caps,
We can all settle in for a short Christmas nap...

For planting comes early
and we need time enough
for our charcoal to settle
in microbes and duff

Kyoto will be calling
for carbon to the earth
which will leave us all smiling
full of great mirth

Then from the compost
there came such a clatter
I arouse with my spade fork
to organic matter!

The wee-beasties were popping
in asexual love
the hyphae were shedding
Glomalin gloves
the nematodes writhing
in a holiday feast
a cornucopia for all
from mighty to least

So all the pyrolysis
should scale up, but quick!
to make the Earth jolly
just like Saint Nick!



Thanks to all of you for this important work
Erich
