A POET'S PLEA: WE NEED TO KNOW WHO SOLD THE FARM

RISE AND FALLS

Standing firm on guard for thee,
we coalesce to make our plea,
and while the horse has left the barn,
we need to know who sold the farm;

An enterprise whose smell pervades,
the waters and its everglades;
whose genesis just boggles minds,
while mares will watch their bare behinds;


Where was sense when pique prevailed,
impending storms but off she sailed;
did due diligence lose its way,
which brought us to this fatefull day?

Enquire, ye learned minds, of why,
the Muskrat ever got its bye;
of what its tail might yet reveal,
if all else fails, it's sex appeal.
