A day on the farm 

I see trees around me as if I was lost in a forest, 

I feel cold water rushing into my gumboots, 

I smell the stink of a dead sheep like standing in front of a rotting possum , 

I taste the cool refreshing air of winter, I hear the water rushing like waves crashing on a beach,
