Now the Farm Has Him

What happened on that farm?

A cow and a chicken and a pig

on Old MacDonald’s Farm

had heard an awful rumor

that Old Mac meant them harm

 

“It can’t be true!” the cow exclaimed,

and the chicken clucked her assent,

but the pig remained disgruntled,

not trusting the farmer’s intent

 

Demanding a meeting with the man

he oinked out accusations,

“We hear you plan to fatten us,

then turn us into rations!”

 

Old MacDonald stammered some,

“Ee…I…Ee…I… oh…”

He kept that cow and hen and pig,

and the song? Well, now you know.

Lol, very cute, we had a pot bellied pig Elvis that ended up on the farm, now I have to check if the farmer made bacon out of him. The kids at school will get a big kick out of this one Rita!

[Rita L. Sev]

:) Do check on Elvis - make sure he has not "left the building!" I would love if you shared this with your kids! Thank you, Frieda!

My son checks on him, he's as big as a queen size bed he tells me, apparently he wasn't a potbelly....and thanks, will do. :-)

Very cute Rita. I love how you look at things, most times it seems, with a smile and a chuckle. At least that is what your poetry brings to me.
