Agri Cultured
by Ulyss RubeyMilkin cows,
Pickin Cotton,
Early years not forgotten.
Fetchin water,
Feedin chickens,
Life was mighty slim pickins.
Shuckin corn,
Diggin taters,
Hoein weeds from the maters.
Sloppin hogs,
Fixin fences,
All before school commences.
Watchin cows n
Bulls in passion-
Learnin bout dogie fashion.
Years ago,
Where did time go,
No more rows to hoe. 10/07/2001 Posted on 10/07/2001
