The Farm House

A tree lined driveway 

Palms and Casuarina all the way 

A distant view majestic 

Of the Farm House so ecstatic 

A two storied building 

With balconies fronting. 

Upper floor narrow 

Broader lower floor 

For farm produce storage 

With two sheds can manage 

A sprawling compound 

With a fence going around. 

A shed for cattle 

Cows and calves well settled 

Cattle kept on when old 

Avoiding sure slaughter if sold 

Coconut, Areca nut, banana 

Nutmeg, mango, guava. 

A compost pit created 

For leaves, dung, fruits discarded 

The Farm House overlooking 

Paddy fields, pond, rice mill adjoining 

From nature back to nature 

A principle used to safeguard the future.

One look and one knows 

Loving tender care made to grow 

Nothing left to waste 

Everything has its place 

The farm makes visitors happy 

In natures caring company.
