Ode To The Fifth Kingdom

Strophe I O mycorrhiza, nature’s internet This internet keeps everything alive Beats out anything Humans thought as yet The natural world around it does thrive II Trees struck by lightning or rotting away The Net sends signals to the biosphere Mycorrhiza knows and does save the day The Net saves the biosphere ,is that clear ? III These esculent can help afflicted trees Trees are kept alive as long as they can The Net revitalizes them,you see Mycorrhiza, the way to heal the land IV Mushrooms can heal and are healthy to eat Lions mane and Reishi are good for health Find Boletes and Chanterel what a feast! , Turkey-tail is another . Wow what wealth ! Antestrophe V Fire doth burn deadwood and excess growth They create space ; release ailment they do Fecund soil and Morels do show,I note Don’t forget sun and rain they help too VI Eat meat and poultry they’re healthy for you Drink fruit juice and V5 they are healthy Eat fish and bread and fruits you should eat too Follow the above rede you’d be wealthy Epode VII Healthy food keeps one stout Natures ways deep I shout !
