Family Farm
The cows I herded to pasture
Are now warehoused by the thousands
Never seeing the light of day
Old neighbors' farm houses
Slowly mold and rot to abandon
A rusty skeleton is all that remains
Of the Allis Chalmers tractor I drove
Just as the Sioux and the buffalo
Disappeared from the prairie
So, has the family-farm menagerie
But it will live forever in my memory
