The Farm
Hills and valleys and meadows so green,
Along the lane shapely maples are seen,
There stands an old barn with a stream flowing by it,
Everything's always so peaceful and quiet!
That may be someone's dream of a farm!
I agree that is nice - but 1 may cause alarm.
A farm isn't always so bright and cheery,
Even sunny days on a farm can be dreary!
The day starts off terribly early -
Some family members wake up a bit surly!
When breakfast is finished, to the barn you must go
To do the chores - a major foe.
After working hard throughout the day
You return to the house for your curds and whey.
Then to the barn to shovel manure -
It must be the worst job on earth - I am sure!
You must take care not to tip the shovel
When it's full of manure - because - well -
You might just holler with a bit of a hoot
As the "sweet" smelling mixture runs inside your boot.
When spring returns so fresh and new.
It brings many a job - stone picking too.
At this busy, busy time of year
There's cultivating, planting, - work up to here!
During summer, in grain fields, a machine you may see
Cutting and chopping, it's busy as a bee -
With only three wheels it's sort of odd -shaped -
It's a swather! - and what beautiful swathes it does make.
Along comes the combine to finish the job!
It looks uncomfortable as it bounces and bobs.
The men on these machines come off pretty dirty.
But who said farming would always be "purty"?
Getting stuck in the mud trying to pick corn,
Going out to plough at six in the morn,
Sitting up at night with a farrowing sow,
Would tax anyone's sanity- and HOW!
I've pictured farming a nightmare - not a dream -
But it's not really as bad as it all may seem.
As the golden crops wave and the corn grows so high.
A sense of pride is felt as the days pass by.
A successful farmer is a jack -of -all trades
If the weather co-operates, he's got it made!
From experience, in closing, I'd just like to say,
"Keep that shovel level or you'll be full of dismay!"
