A well known and respected farmer from the Valley died recently. This poem was in his Obituary. I don't know the author.
Let the wealthy and great roll in splendor and state, I envy them not, I declare it. I eat my own lamb, my own chickens and ham, I shear my own fleece and wear it. I have lawns, I have bowers, I have fruits, I have flowers. The Lark is my morning alarm. So jolly boys now, here's God speed to the plow Long life and success to the FARMER.
I kinda like that. MB
