Peace and harmony on the farmony

Woke up this morning. As I did chores, sun shining on new fallen snow, puppies at my side, I felt the poet in me take over my soul. I said to myself, “This is a good time, for Mr. Ed to make up a rhyme. So here goes:

Someone said Let’s go to Mr. Ed’s Farm Another said That couldn’t do any harm.

There’s a lot of things To do and see And most of them are Darn near free

There’s sheep and horses And a goat or two Be sure to watch your step And check your shoe.

The chickens are up At the crack of dawn You know when a hen lays an egg When she sings her song

Watch out for the rooster His name is Red Green He looks pretty mellow But he could be mean

Then there is Otis The guard llama Any intruder Is an excuse for drama

You can visit with Gladys And her friend Lucile Just don’t tell them any secrets Because they will squeal

Joe is from Jersey Vinnie is too If they see you coming They will give you a big moo.

Watch out for the barn cats They are very wary Sticking your hand in a hole Can be quite scary

Marshmallow and brownie Are goats that are pigmy They will run up to you And say “Don’t you dig me?”

The puppies love to run and play They keep it up All through the day

Poor mother Rosie And father Winston too Are besides themselves And don’t know what to do

The puppies Love to bark and bite They grab Winston by the tail And pull with all their might

Winston whirls around He is quite quick He tells the boys Go get me a stick

Rosie looks after the puppies She thinks they are so sweet She makes sure They get enough to eat

The horses There are eight Love to eat hay And stand by the gate

There’s Cody and Harley And Sam and Sue They will pull anything Mr. Ed wants them too

Lazy Luke likes to sleep in Sweetie is an early riser Mick is pretty smart But Bud is wiser

There are two ducks Named Cheese and Quackers Check out their bills They are worth a lot of smackers

The rabbits Brown and white Live in separate cages so they don’t fight

Two girls and a boy Apart they remain That is so the number of rabbits remains the same

There’s sparrows, starlings and chickadees too And lots of other wild birds That add to the zoo.

The deer like to nibble And they love to chew Jumping into the garden Is their favorite thing to do

One animal not welcome Is the stinky old skunk Last time he met Winston That dog really stunk

Mr Ed gets up in the morning To do all his chores When he takes his nap Mrs Ed says he snores

Mrs Ed likes to garden And look after her flowers She seems to possess Magical growing powers

She planted pole beans Along side the shed Up up they grew Way over her head.

The beans grew up Almost out of sight She jumped to reach them With all of her might.

Not being able to reach the beans Made her feel sadder Not being able to jump Made her even madder

Watching her jump And sensing her plight Mr Ed disappeared Clean out of sight

Not wishing to see His lovely wife get madder and sadder Good old Mr Ed Came back with the step ladder

All is well You can see On Mr Ed’ Farm Peace and harmony are still free.
