Farmer Joe and The Knights


Three knights in shining armor 
left to see the farmer

The Farmer was chasing cattle 
That were running through Seattle
Farmer Joe stopped with the cattle captured

“We’ve come right from the castle.”
“It looks like it’s been quite the hassle.” Said the farmer
“Monsters have invaded, and our food supply has faded.”
Farmer Joe gave a smile, “it looks like you will work awhile.”

The knights they paused
 Their horses brooding
 “I hope you will survive the shooting.”

 He gave a sigh and joined the knights
 Hoping to stop all the fright
 So they dropped Joe off in the fielding
 Where the crops had stopped yielding

 He worked all day,
 To his dismay, his knees hurt from the kneeling
 Fresh fruit was there with corn to spare
 And good bananas for peeling

“You’ve done your job,” said Sir Bob “now the kingdom is healing.”
So farmer Joe said, “Don’t you know, the monsters are still stealing.” 
Sir Bob took him to the castle where peasants yelled and sobbed
 Till they saw Joe's crops, fresh and sweet, brought in by Sir Bob
