Rhyme Scheme: ABCB DEFE DGHG IJKJ LMNM OPQP BRLR STUT CVWX XLBL AOYO DZA2ZA 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 |
He thought of an idle bit | G |
Of walled off ground where a shop had stood | H |
And he said Just it | G |
- | |
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 plow | M |
So she had to work it all by hand | N |
But she don't mind now | M |
- | |
She wheeled the dung in a 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 |
Radishes lettuce peas | T |
Tomatoes beets beans pumpkins corn | U |
And even fruit trees | T |
- | |
And yes she has long mistrusted | C |
That a cider apple | V |
In bearing there today is hers | W |
Or at least may be | X |
- | |
Her crop was a miscellany | X |
When all was said and done | L |
A little bit of everything | B |
A great deal of none | L |
- | |
Now when she sees in the village | A |
How village things go | O |
Just when it seems to come in right | Y |
She says I know | O |
- | |
It's as when I was a farmer | D |
Oh never by way of advice | Z |
And she never sins by telling the tale | A2 |
To the same person twice | Z |
