Do farmers wee in fields?
Do they go behind a tree?
Or do they homeward plod their way
To use their lavatory?
And what do farmers do
When they want a poo?
When they want to wipe themselves
Do they - with leaves - make do?
And with cattle looking on,
Do they feel no shame,
And with airline passengers above
Watching from their plane?
How canny are these farmers:
While pausing from their toil,
They unsqueamishly and cleverly
Fertilise the soil.

You make a good point about being caught short when farming the land. I enjoyed the humour of this poem and thought there was good rhythm and rhyme.
Put a smile on my face.
