Hay, why do you write?

The renaissance farmer pondered, And declared as he whittled, Seems that I’m stuck, Somewhere in the middle. I fancy the ride, On the dusty Deere’s seat. Affords me some time, To whip up these treats. I love the culture, You city folk hold, That dish on the barn, Has changed me I’m told. Hunderds of channels, With plenty of artsy fart. Milk production’s doubled, Cause cows love Mozart. Hmmm, what’s the question? Oh, I write cause I’m able, No throe bred horses, Are born in my stable. I’m a smithy you see, A fixer of broke things, Bring me your busted, And I’ll whip up some wings. No sir, not chicken wings, The stuff of aches and pains. Poets, farmers, and cattlemen Have lofty goals and similar aims. Yeah, I know it ain't plain to me, Similar aims is difficult to see. Truth is, we all produce food, Some of its read, and some of it chewed. Set here a minute, And let me explain. How John Deere metafer talk, Is about harvesten good grains. It don’t matter what grains traded, The harvesten’s joy needs to be stated, Corn and Soya, or Truth and Wisdom, All sweet crops in Gods' fertile kingdom!
