Farmer Jack

by (1876–1938)

Listen in the reader

Old farmer Jack gazed on his wheat, And feared the frost would nip it. Said he, "it's nearly seven feet-- I must begin to strip it."

He stripped it with a stripper and He bagged it with a bagger; The bags were all so lumpy that They made the lumper stagger.

The lumper staggered up the stack Where he was told to stack it; And Jack was paid and put the cash Inside his linen jacket.
