SMELLY FUEL.
As we look into the future,
the day will soon be here.
When petrol will be rather scarce
and what is left is very dear.
Car engines must be modified,
to run on waste I'm sure.
Some to work on chicken shit
and all grades of manure…
Some dung will be imported,
The solid and the loose.
You must get your car adapted,
There will be no excuse.
Filling up your fuel tank,
or so the story goes.
Requires a pair of gardening gloves
and a peg upon your nose.
Attendants at the service point,
trained to something new.
Asking if you're having camel dung,
"Is it one hump sir, or two?".
