When one crop fails the weed succeeds
No wonder some folks just raise steeds
And many kinds of special breeds
Still someone's got to plant the seeds
That do provide a nation's needs
For meat alone the world concedes
Is not the sum of all that feeds
The Gardener's Weed Book |
And so the humble farmer leads
Steadfastly doing his good deeds
In patience surely he exceeds
Tenacity that supersedes
A farmer fights — a farmer bleeds
As he grows us our daily needs
Among his most important deeds
The farmer's battle with the weeds
