down on the farm, yo

i think about making

my back yard

into a little farm.

simplify my life more than

it already is.

grow some kind of

vegetables. get a few

fat white chickens

that can lay me some

eggs.

maybe a pig, a goat.

a small pony

to help me plow

before seeding.

a cow would be nice

for heavy cream.

but it's a small yard.

maybe twenty feet

by twenty feet, at best.

i could put a weathervane

on the shed.

and hang a triangle bell to

ring when chow was

ready.

i could go onto 

the dating site

farmgirls.com

and find me a country

girl, with freckles

and strong arms.  rosy cheeks.

she could churn the butter.

and do other farm

like things.
