FEED, by                     Poet's Biography
First Line: For danny whistling slowly
Last Line: Then lean again to scoop up the swill.
Subject(s): Farm Life; Agriculture; Farmers


For Danny whistling slowly
"Down in Tennessee"
A fat white shoat by the trough
Lifts his snout a moment to hear,
Among the guzzling and slavering comrades,
Squeezing and forcing:
And begins to feed again.
Whenever a certain note comes
He will raise his jaws
His unturning eyes,
Then lean again to scoop up the swill.
