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
