Rhyme Scheme: ABCB DEFE D GH IJKJ LMN OPQP BRLR S TU CVWV VLB AOXO DYZYA neighbor of mine in the village | A |
Likes to tell how one spring | B |
When she was a girl on the farm she did | C |
A childlike thing | B |
- | |
One day she asked her father | D |
To give her a garden plot | E |
To plant and tend and reap herself | F |
And he said Why not | E |
- | |
In casting about for a corner | D |
- | |
Of walled off ground where a shop had stood | G |
And he said Just it | H |
- | |
And he said That ought to make you | I |
An ideal one girl farm | J |
And give you a chance to put some strength | K |
On your slim jim arm | J |
- | |
It was not enough of a garden | L |
Her father said to plough | M |
So she had to work it all by hand | N |
- | |
- | |
She wheeled the dung in the wheelbarrow | O |
Along a stretch of road | P |
But she always ran away and left | Q |
Her not nice load | P |
- | |
And hid from anyone passing | B |
And then she begged the seed | R |
She says she thinks she planted one | L |
Of all things but weed | R |
- | |
A hill each of potatoes | S |
- | |
Tomatoes beets beans pumpkins corn | T |
And even fruit trees | U |
- | |
And yes she has long mistrusted | C |
That a cider apple tree | V |
In bearing there to day is hers | W |
Or at least may be | V |
- | |
Her crop was a miscellany | V |
When all was said and done | L |
A little bit of everything | B |
- | |
- | |
Now when she sees in the village | A |
How village things go | O |
Just when it seems to come in right | X |
She says I know | O |
- | |
It's as when I was a farmer | D |
Oh never by way of advice | Y |
And she never sins by telling the tale | Z |
To the same person twice | Y |
