Yet I greatly control your civilisation : I am very tenacious and hard as a stone, And am like old Horatius in holding my own. So lay mo down, keeping mo straight in the ditch, And while you are sleeping I'll be making you rich ; Every farmer of pride clearly loves to provide For tho future—th© son and the daughter; So give me a chance, and I'll greatlj enhance Every acre I'll drain of its water. And here's my great beauty—l'm always on duty Out of rea.f:h of the "bulls and the bears." And when you're in your grave I'll continue to slave For your children, their children, and theirs. My habits are g cod—l require no food— My joints axe all made, without mortar, And I always abstain when deep in the drain From anything stronger than water. If your land is too wet, and you're burdened with debt, And encumbrance begins to accrue, Obey Nature's laft-s by removing the cause, Drain yo-ir farm,.or it will drain you. Some farmers are failing, and weeping ami wailing, And blame the good Lord without reason, When if they wo<uld stop sowing seed in the slop They might raise* a good crop every 6eason. Most farmers lament the money ] they've spent ] For the things only made to beguile; j But-never as yet, did a farmer regret | Thu money expended for tile.
