And I laughed cause I knew

All the things that farmers

Must be able to do.

They must study the land

Then watch the sky

And figure just when

Is the right time and why.

To sow and to plant

To buy and to sell

To go to the market

With wheat and well,

You know the books

That farmers must keep

To pay all those taxes

And be able to sleep.

And you know the fixin’

That farmers must do

When machines like mad monsters

Blow a gasket or two.

I guess when God needed

Folks to care for His earth

He chose “just farmers”
