Farmer

Tony36

A simple farmer all I be

I work the land with dignity 

I work the fields 

I move the cows 

I fix the fence 

I slop the sows

This surely is the life for me 

For a simple farmer all I be

              Sounds a little more dignified than "slop the hogs". Oh, I forgot that's what politicians do in Washington. Heh, heh. Nice poem.

              • Tony36

                With Trump now in the White House. There will be much much more hog sloping done in Washington. Glad you liked my poem

                I can just imagine this being read with a strong English country accent - great.

                  Being a farmer is a wonderful profession. I just posted a poem and my grandparents were farmers. Admirable profession!
