Maze
It burned up our best corn field
Now we've no crops this year to yield
Peculiar, it was never set ablaze
Yesterday they were fully intact
Perhaps an extraterrestrial act
The idea leaves me in a daze
Unfinished circles all throughout
I cannot find my way about
Trapped amidst a maize maze
Aliens with a sense of humor
And maybe it is just a rumor
A brewery appeared in a haze
This puzzle solved is not too hard
As that was in the neighbor's yard
And he farms barley anyways
The pig farm way on down the road
Had bacon rain on their abode
Now it's the farmer who does graze
Rowan Atkinson somehow materialized
At the bean farm, looking pretty surprised
For that one, I give alien's high praise
For me though, the Martian joke is done
As it seems I'm forever stuck in a pun
Crazed in the maize, for the rest of my days
