The Entrepeneur

The Entrepreneur 
I`m thinking of the man who was clearing land
He wanted to grow cabbage, a good idea especially
Since farmers get subsidies from EU for planting orange trees
The country drowning in orange twice a year
There many stones on the ground here and looks like
The extracted teeth of giants, so the man decided
 To construct a pyramid for the untrained eye the mound
Of stones look like a heap of rocks, and it has also become 
A Paradise for rabbits 

The cabbages his soil produced were pathetic, so he gave
It up, he didn`t have the long view as a farmer needs.
He went to Franc instead and worked on a winery there.
He saved his money and began driving a Taxi I Paris but 
Lost his licence for drinking wine on the job
