WINTER CHORING
tBily B. Cooper In the New York Ttmes)
BY THE MAN IN THE TOWER

On Winter days my father did his chores
A little earlier. He'd fork down hay
To fill the managers, and enough clean straw
To bed the stalls. He'd give an extra ear
OF corn to Prince and Dandy, and he'd I'LL
The measure heaping full to feed the COWS.
He had way with animals; he talked
Their language, and they listened as he moved
Among them, caring for their daily needs.
He built his barns secure against the storms
OF Winter, and his stock was sheltered well;
And once heard him speak his mind to say:
"No man with chores to do should go to bed
Until he knows his stock is warm and fed!"
