notes on a north american cycle trip in 2008

Get on yer ….

Corn… bike.

  • I met a man
  • At the train station
  • The train station at Newark Airport
  • He was a nice man
  • With a John Deere baseball hat
  • And slight tum
  • He said his slight tum was due to being a farmer
  • He said farming was very good business
  • I asked him what he farmed
  • Corn, he said
  • I told him I liked corn very much
  • But he said, Not for eating but for biofuel
  • Oh dear
  • Fuel rather than food
  • That’s not so good
  • So get outta yer car
  • And on yer bike
  • Otherwise we might all starve

    Is that a maize field? Is that you cycling down through a maize field? Have you seen North By Northwest with the famous scene where Cary Grant is attacked by an aeroplane in a maize field? Put me right off them, so it did. Hotboy p.s. You’re quite right about the biofuels. The poor basturns who could eat the maize, can’t afford motors, that’s for sure!
