FARM SPECIALISTS!
In our little town, oh! sad to tell, There is a merchant who doesn't know how to sell, A sawyer who doesn't know how to saw, A teacher who doesn't know how to teach, A preacher who doosn't know how to preach, A paintrr who can't paint very well, A printer who doesn't know how to spell, An odd-jobs man with never a job, A cobbler who doesn't know how to cob, A miller who doesn't know how to mill, A butcher who doesn't know how t.o kill, A racer who doesn't know how to ■"' race, A mason who doesn't know how to mace, A clocksmith who cannot mend a clock, And a doctor who doesn't know how to doc; And, since none of these are busy men, You will find them again -and yet again, Ever anon and a few times more, Round the stove in Mendolsen's store, Each talking freely and through his hat, Doing the one thing they are expert at, Giving advice to farmers.
