Chock full of blissful toiling
And woodchucks, hawks and worms, see
His cherished plans are foiling.
A farmers life's the key to health;
Exciting, soul inspiring,
AS rodents take our crops by stealth
Against them we're conspiring.
AS maggots, bugs and beetles come
1t warns our hearts to meet them,
We feed them ashes, hyrethrum,
Or else on poison treat them.
Then rs the year draws to close
We figure for the surplus,
If nothing DER behind,
IT'S cheap for such circus.
