It's that time of the
week
the family all dread
There will be no
mischief
till the Farmers
Weekly's read
Farmer Brown flicks the
pages
his rages never fail
when he comes upon the
page
of farms up for sale
that well appointed
property
in a vale of verdant
green
where no rusty tractors
or old machinery to be
seen
sheep in adjacent field
well shorn no patch of
bald
no sign of scour at the
back
no foot rot or scald
the cattle in the
pasture
well fed and straight
of back
with a shiny coat and
healthy
all his cross-breds
lack
there are poultry in
the farm yard
no droppings or bits of
straw
unlike Browns scrawny
critters
pecking at the door
the farm is so
attractive
a sale there's bound to
be
to the just plain lucky
of the peasantry
Browns farm was just
like this
before he bought a cow
so many years of
falling prices
who would buy it now?
You wrote as very knowledgeable on the topic . Well written . It is much the same here in many parts of the U.S. Many people can't afford to feed their animals .
