A FAIR FARMER, by                     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!
