A Farmer's Mate

I'm a tractor, a farmer's friend,
plough through the field until day's end,
cut and rake and bale all day,
stack the big shed's full of hay.

Three point linkage at the back,
hook my tools on, hit the track,
ram in fence posts, straight and tall,
cart them on my carry all.

Spray the crops so weeds don't grow,
I can drive pumps, dig and sow,
see the smile on the farmer's face, (that would be Eric!!)
tractor helps him run the place.

Plough the paddocks, round and round,
watch the crows grow from the ground,
day is fading, close the gate,
good job tractor- farmer's mate!!

We "city farmers" love our tractor and the boys can't live without it. Finn just wants to ride and ride!! It is just a matter of time before they learn to drive it and take over all the tractor duties!! We can hardly wait!!
Yipee!!
