More Farm Poems

MESSY PIGS

Don’t eat like a pig
your mom demands.
Ever seen a pig eat?
He doesn’t use his hands.

It’s not a pretty sight.
Head down, nose in his food
covered with muddy goo,
disgusting is the word.

STUBBORN GOATS


Goats eat anything in sight:
tin cans, old newspapers.
Like lawn mowers if left alone,
they will eat acres and acres.

A goat has a mind of his own,
living without a care.
He gets stuck in fences,
trying to go nowhere.

HELPLESS SHEEP

My grandpa is a shepherd
with his faithful old hound.
Moving the herd to greener
pastures, and to better ground.

He keeps them from danger:
hungry wolves and big bears.
Watches out for little lambs,
because my grandpa cares.

It's MAY DAY again!

Celebrating LABOR UNIONS today, but how about all the MOTHERS who are the original labor unions throughout history and in all species. Love ...
