Trying to think up what to draw,

On a card for Father’s Day,

Putt... putt...Bang! 

 You could hear the ol’ John Deere fire up,

From over a mile away!

I was a ten year old prisoner,

On a perfect summer day.

Putt... putt...Bang! 

Trapped there in a classroom,

While my Dad  was cutting hay!

I don’t suppose that card survived,

But in my mind’s eye it’s still clear.

Putt... putt...Bang!

It’s my stick-man Dad,

Cutting hay with the ol’ John Deere

PS;  A cowboy poetry book  from Country Feeds in Barriere makes a great Father’s Day gift!
