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

this is humorous. I HATE mazes. I got lost in one with my son a long time ago. It kept getting darker and darker and nobody was around. Took us two hours to get out. uggg. Someone told me: Always take a right and eventually you will be out. (Or was it a left??)
