Farmer Brown Goes To Town (1)
Farmer Brown Goes To Town (1)
A Farmer took his veggies
To the market in the town
He parked his well stocked wagon
On a shady piece of ground
The people came from far and wide
To find the cheapest goods
But never ever stopped to look at
Where the produce farmer stood
His pumpkins were the largest
The corn as sweet as honey
The beans and peas the greenest
But still he made no money
When finally it was time to go
A small child came a begging
Needing food and saying that all he could offer
Is two pennies and some leggings
The farmer not at all aggrieved
Felt keenly the lads distress
And waived aside the young man's offer
And gave him all his best
When the greedy people of the town
Saw the boy's conquest
They all rushed forth with a similar tale
And asked for a like bequest
To this the farmer did reply
I've been here all this day
You never stopped just once to look
And now this is what you say
You people are too greedy
The produce farmer said
The boy who left did offer to pay
He's worthy of my produce my heart has told my head
I hope someday you all can see
The moral of my tale
If you must treat others badly
Your endeavors will surely fail
The moral to this story is
That people who show greed
Never get to get free goods
They think they really need
So if you see a merchant
Selling his hard earned wares
Remember this farmer's story
And treat him with respect and care.

Farmer Brown Goes To Town (2)
A farmer took his veggies
To the market in the town
He parked his well stocked wagon
On a shady piece of ground
The people came from far and wide
To find the cheapest and best goods
But never did they stop to look
At where the produce farmer stood
His pumpkins were the largest
The corn as sweet as honey
The beans and peas the greenest
But still he made no money
When finally it was time to go
A small child came around to say
My family's hungry for your food
Then offers pennies and some hay
To the boy the farmer said
I feel keenly your distress
And waived aside his offer
Then gave him all his best
The greedy people of the town
At once did see the boy's conquest
Then rushed forth with similar tales
And demanded a like bequest
Then Farmer Brown did reply
Right here I've been all this day
You never stopped once to look
And now this is what you say
You people are way to greedy
The produce farmer yelled and said
The boy who left did want to pay
But I gave him the food instead
I hope someday you'll all see
The reasoning of my tale
If you must act so badly
All you do will surely fail
The moral to this story is
That people who always show greed
Will never get to get free goods
That they're thinking they really need
So if you see a merchant
Selling all his hard earned wares
Recall this farmer's story
Treat him right; and always fair
