Poem # 9 Illustration Fecal Farm © Kenneth J. Miller My horse is there in front of me Clip-cloppin' down the road. He stops and flips his tail straight up And drops another load. My cows dump in the meadow, My chickens foul their coop, And flies are buzzin' 'round and 'round Eatin' all that poop. The sheep are out there bleatin'. . . I gotta' get a grip! The stupid things are standin' Knee-deep in their dip! I swear on this here farm There's every barnyard species, And each and every one of them Is makin' tons of feces. I'm tired of smellin' livestock. I'd like to take a nap. But I can't sleep 'cause I dream of Hogs wallowin' in their crap. Now my wife is in the kitchen Cookin' soup du jour, But nothin' smells real good to me; I'm surrounded by manure. Funny Poems that Are funny

Avoid regrets; no matter what you do, don’t ever let your family pets take lessons in kung fu. –Kenn Nesbitt Assonance
