a trip to the countryside,

most rewarding.

to the novice eyes,

everything is a curious sight-

the lush greens,

tilled soil,

untiring grower,

bring such joy!

fusion of old

and new in harmony,

ogiisan and obaasan

sowing the land.

with modern tools

they manage the farm.

the produce are aplenty,

everybody's full.

fresh and healthy-

they live a century,

sometimes more.
