Thoroughly Poetic Thursday #19

  Today we join Two SPOILED CATS



Angel Sammy and Teddy for their poetic pictorial poem.



Here is our inspiration

This poem is 100% true...


Truth be told I'm a city slicker
a fact about which I cannot bicker.
Oh my mercy
I was lucky
my great Uncle Percy
had a huge farm with animals and crops.

Cows:
I learned how to milk the dairy cows
 It was determined I was too slow .
When I asked to taste the milk,
he said open wide.  His aim was 
on target he said now swallow

Hogs:
Hogs were messy of this I was certain.
In mud and muck they happily wallowed 

Chickens:
I had/have a very sensitive nose.
I learned quickly why the hen house
was on the very edge of the farm.
To your eyes and nose that smell did harm.
Each morning they had to gather eggs.
Kept what they needed crated the rest for sale

The family of nine lived off the land.
They grew their own veggies 
Each child had a hand in planting, picking and shelling.
In a flash Great Aunty Susie turned food from their land
in to a feast. 
Milk, eggs, meat, veggies galore 
Much More.
