Funny Farm

In the tall grass prairie

Used to roam large buffalo

Until an old farmer not by the name of Fred

Because that was his brother, named Joe instead

Wandered in and decided to build a home

The house was little compared to the spacious barn quite contrary

For raising animals he intended as opposed to marry

Sturdy built was the barn to keep his animals free from harm

An escape for the pigs from their pens and a couple sheep able to nestle in the corner stable

But it became a party when you climbed up the loft to meet the hens

As opposed to shutting and latching the door of the barn

The farmer introduced a different animal to the farm

One with teeth and claws that ran on four paws

Meant to protect the pigs and sheep and hens from predators when they awoke from their dens

The only catch was these hunters were still too young

They were only kittens under the age of one

But every time Farmer Joe climbed up the ladder he was always filled with laughter

As the kittens romped and chased the hens

Some jumping from the ledge where kitty would tumble down the ladder after

Unfortunately this way little work was ever done

Until the kittens had had their fun and fell asleep one by one
