Ode to my Compost

O, giant heap of compost:
How dark and rich you are,
Full of promised green.

On my lawn,
A pile of chocolate cake crumbs.

On my floor,
A smear of chocolate pudding.

Who could resist
Wallowing in you
On a rainy day?

Not Oob.



And many thanks to Mxyl and the Emperor for shoveling assistance!

Not that I don't love your compost too, but this seems the easiest way to send you a note about the neatest webcam going right now :) (not that any of us need a reason to stare at a computer more) but at this site they have a camera trained on a pair of bald eagles in NE Iowa and 2 of their eggs have hatched and one more will hatch soon. You can also see the critters they have in the nest to eat (a rabbit last week seems to be covered now with some kind of bird) go to:
