Just a Farmer
"Just a Farmer", you said
And I laughed 'cause I knew
All the things that farmers
Must be able to do.
They must study the land,
Then watch the sky
And figure just when
Is the right time and why -
To sow and to plant
To buy and to sell
To go to the market
With cattle and well -
You know the books
That farmers must keep
To pay all those taxes
And be able to sleep.
And you know the fixin'
That farmers must do
When machines like mad monsters
Blow a gasket or two.
I guess when God needed
Folks to care for His earth
He chose "just farmers"
'Cause He knew their true worth.

Coon
Formula for a Strong Nation:
I know three things must always be
To keep a nation strong and free.
One is a hearthstone bright and dear,
With busy, happy loved ones near.
One is a ready heart and hand
To love, and serve, and keep the land.
One is a worn and beaten way
To where the people go to pray.
So long as these are kept alive,
Nation and people will survive.
God, keep them always, everywhere --
The home, the heart, the place of prayer.

The
Story of Everybody, Somebody, Anybody, and Nobody...
Once upon a time
there were four men named Everybody, Somebody, Anybody,
and Nobody. There was an important job to be done
and Everybody was asked to do it. But Everybody
was sure that Somebody would do it. Anybody could
have done it. But Nobody did it. Somebody got angry
about it, because it was Everybody's job. Everybody
thought that Anybody could do it, and Nobody realized
that Everybody wouldn't do it. It ended up that
Everybody blamed Somebody and Nobody did the job
that Anybody could have done in the first place.
At last report, these four men were still arguing
and the job they were supposed to do still wasn't
done.
