A FAIR FARMER, by CLINTON SCOLLARD Poet's Biography First Line: Fannie's going in for farming Last Line: That I'll be her husbandman! Subject(s): Farm Life; Agriculture; Farmers | ||||||||
Fannie's going in for farming, And it's not a "fad" she claims; Fannie's pretty, Fannie's charming, With her "isms" and her aims. Since she studied agriculture -- And can tell you beans from hops, She's been hungry as a vulture For all treatises on crops. Fannie's going in for farming, Or she'll know the reason why. Some would deem my case alarming, No such doleful suitor I. Opposition would repel her; Sooth, I rather like her plan, And I'll call to-night and tell her That I'll be her husbandman! | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...KICKING THE LEAVES by DONALD HALL THE FARMER'S BOY: WINTER by ROBERT BLOOMFIELD THE FARMER'S BOY: SPRING by ROBERT BLOOMFIELD THE FARMER'S BOY: SUMMER by ROBERT BLOOMFIELD THE FARMER'S BOY: AUTUMN by ROBERT BLOOMFIELD |
