The Power of Fungi
If I were stranded, relocated, beached upon an island
My one necessity while living with the sand
Would be
My fungus identification book
To guide me
In finding, identifying, and devouring all kinds of fungi
This book holds the guidance to train all minds
On the necessity of fungi
A wonderous sustainable food source that will not die
Even if I were secluded by force
I would, at least, have fungi
Medicinal properties
Delicious food qualities
Captured through finding and identifying fungi colonies
When stranded alone this book is more than a novelty
For without it
I would be reciting my obsequies
With it
The power of Fungi puts me at ease
And fills my tummy indefinitely
