Crop Circles

Shouting,
“Yes, we were here!”
Whispering, “They were not.”
Like starlets, wonderful even
If false.

Altho' many crop circles have been proven to be hoaxes, there is also a significant number that simply cannot be explained away!

...and I believe they "were here"!

Warm hugs,

SOMETNING happens out there, that's for sure.... but even if it's all done by people, it's a great and hoopy hoax! Gotta love 'em, either way (unless you're the particular farmer whose crop got squashed...)

Enjoyed this and grinning at your last lines.

Also, I often wondered what farmers thought of their crushed/scortched crops, too.

If the crop can't be salvaged, they're out at least the cost of raising it -- If they're out 50 bushels or so of product, that's got to be enough to hack 'em off.

--even if it was whacked by space aliens!

Crop Circles

corned husks
defining shapes
"Auntie Em come look come look!"
a tornado only flattened
cash crop
