Around The Farm

Around The Farm

 

There was a pig and a horse

each needing to be fed

A mule that wouldn’t listen

And chickens in a shed

 

A beautiful little orchard

Some apples and some pears

Some peach trees and a walnut

And preserves for the county fair

 

A spring-fed little well

With plenty drinking water

A garden with corn and potatoes

A milk cow with her fodder

 

Some sparrows and a barn owl

Some dogs and a cat

A little herd of sheep

And many hungry rats

 

A tractor and a baler

A shovel and a rake

A pasture full of coastal

A hayfield where we played

 

A porch swing and a hammock

A pony and a goat

A little picnic table

And plenty country folks
