Farmer's Work
A farmer's work is never done,
And he doesn't have a lot of fun.
He does the chores,
And feeds the bores (boars),
Milk from cows is very good.
Helping farmers is what we should.
A farmer doesn't work nine to five.
Helping babies to be born alive.
Spending hours in the fields,
So his crop will have a good yield.
A farmer's life is not an easy one,
But it's the only life for me, his son.

Be Careful Around the Farm
Never go near farm machinery because you
might cut yourself or kill yourself. You could get
your hair caught in a running machine. They
might be digging machines and they can cut you.
Digging machines have sharp edges. I got cut on
one before. I never went near one from that day.
I don't want to get cut again. Don't go near the
holes that you throw hay down. You can step
there and get yourself killed. Don't touch a
mother's baby. For sure not a chicken's baby.
You'll hurt A LOT. Mothers are really careful
about their babies.0
