I enjoy reading a relaxing poem that can carry a message without banging a drum for attention. The American Farmer is our nations treasury. We can't survive without them. We used to have their backs. They need our backs again. Wonderful poem.

I loved the relaxed language to this. Dropping the 'g' at the end lent a easier read to this. Nice rhythm and the strong emotional tone of pride and credibility was in every line. Great poem. Gretchen

Sankey, I enjoyed this limerick style poem with the enduring cadence one expects from such a write and an a-a-b-b-a rhyming scheme. Quite fun! :0 GracieAnn

Thabnks mate. I was inspired to do this from seken's story about her daughter Erin, and I donated to her cause as well.

I was amused briefly. Hey mate, got to close that cattle gate before them young men befriends them farmer's daughters. What a tale, if you get me meaning. Wasn't only house chores she was cleaning. The chimney needed cleaning. (humor) This was hilarious. Thanks for sharing this beauty. wackydo

This is really a good limerick. I'm sure it has something to do with a worth while cause in Australia but regardless of that the poem is in great style.

Thanks friend it does look 'Limericky' doesn't it. I put my money where my mouth was and donated to Erin's cause. Her Mum wrote the story about her that inspired the poem look for seken's stuff in here. Appreciate the review. Just had a pretty strong deep review of my first chapter of my Autobiography. A bit hard taken at first but on a re think I decided the reviewer has made some very good points and gave a lot of their time doing it. Will see the results later might even add a chapter or two as an out come hehe.

This limerick is quite a surprise
I mind myself rolling my eyes
The tale of young farmer's daughter
something that all poets oughter
try once,at least before he dies

I do enjoy limericks, and this was great. Excellent rhyme and flow. It's wonderful when farm youth maintain their interest in farming. Erin certainly cares about the farmers, and if she was a festival queen candidate she must have put a positive and attractive face on farming. I wasn't like her, I'm afraid. Although raised on a farm, I never cared much about farming. Clever poem! judi

I live on a farm and I know the sadness a hail can bring to a crop. I know the hard work and sweat that goes into the life that feeds the world. Hugs.

Clever and fun Limerick form.

For slightly better flow and equal syllables, maybe:

She's developed a name
which puts others to shame

Effective 'f' alliteration in last line.

Enjoyed the read.

Cheers, Ted
