ole granfers farm


  






NewHampshire









SultryRose's Signatures




  

      old granfer raised pigs
      some goats and some cows
      some cockerels that crowed
      the dogs went bow wow

      he had just 2 acres
      some sties and some barns
      a n orchard and a cowshed
      a car in the yard

      he was up afore dawn
      to bed  for twas pitch pitch dark
      he had just 8 children
      with Alice his loven spark

      he just read the bible
      plus Chatterley too
      he told yarns to the children
      he was a kind fool

      he spent days in the brickyard
      working his keep not far from poole
      nights at the foundry he hardly did sleep
      his fruit it was awesome his farm it was neat
      he rode a cart and pony
      had kiddies at his feet

      old granfer loved booze
      though he rarely got drunk
      though he was kind n dead sober
      he wasn't no monk

      he wrote stylish letters
      knew Orwell and crew
      hardly moved further afield
      than down near old Poole

      his farm it was known by sweet lady guest
      she loaned him a cottage
      called heather view
      she was very impressed

      he knew Augustus john
       plus hardy the man
      though i guess i was his greatest fan
      for he was a so wise and a true durzet man
