Gober Gas

Ayurvedic practitioners say
that food should pass out
soon after ingestion;
thrice daily evacuation
being a sign
of efficient bodily function.

Apart from removing toxins,
manure for plants,
health diagnostics,
and civet / weasel coffee beans,
there are other uses
for bowel movement.

One practice calls for
plastering dissolved cow patties
on floors and walls
to keep residents cool,
or deter unwelcome visitors
such as bugs and biting insects.
as an offshoot of that,
dung gave rise to
mosquito coils.

Conservationists collect excrement
in giant air-tight sumps,
so pressured fermented gases
(70% methane)
can be piped out
for cooking and heating.

"Gober Gas", or bio-gas
is freely self-generated
as long as there are inhabitants
unconstipated by junk food.
plus, following Ayurvedic guidance,
the installation investment
can soon be recovered.

If Gober Gas catches on,
the enthroned may yet
prove their worth
on a daily basis.
