I have the past few,
Written of humor,
Sometimes right on cue,
Sometimes not giving a smile,
Or ever, REALLY, a grin…
I started out to write,
Of Nature’s miracles,
Of the world at night,
Of what I see in my sight,
Of birds in flight,
Sometimes even of Natures blight…
I am gonna try, in future,
To heal my wounds with Nature’s suture,
Not to say my humor will suffer,
But getting back to my roots,
Will be for me, with your help, less tougher…

U sure it ain't HUMUS?
Humus is a colloidal substance, and increases the soil's cation exchange capacity, hence its ability to store nutrients by chelation as can clay particles; thus while these nutrient cations are accessible to plants, they are held in the soil safe from leaching away by rain or irrigation.
Humus can hold the equivalent of 80-90% of its weight in moisture, and therefore increases the soil's capacity to withstand drought conditions.
The biochemical structure of humus enables it to moderate — or buffer — excessive acid or alkaline soil conditions.
ERGO, HUMUS - helps your ROOTS TO GROW !!!
OR - is it HUMMUS?
also hum·us or hom·mos n.
A smooth thick mixture of mashed chickpeas, tahini, oil, lemon juice, and garlic, used especially as a dip for pita.
