Fourth Week of August

​Harvesting and markets leaves little time for cultivation
but our field needs cover crops to enhance plant maturation
The harder we work the more we crave relaxation
rest will come soon, but not before more subluxations

As tradition dictates, I counter your farm poem
With one of my own, I think you see where I'm goin'
Fix the seals on the tractor
hurry BACK to the chiropractor

Finish the new cooler as soon as you can
wait, never mind that, now we've got a new plan
The truck needs front brakes,
You're a surveyor no longer
trade in your oak stakes, there's a fresh field to conquer
Conjure new skills, now your life is on the line
better wrap this up, I'm almost out of time 

Helen,
don't you know better than to engage me in rhyme? 

The days are getting shorter, while our lists are getting longer
please tell the sun it's okay to saunter
Every week we survive, brings us closes to safety
pay the bills on time or incur dreaded late fees 
Life is far from routine, certainly that you can count on
it's a simple rhyme scheme,
and it's one I can't seem to dismount from
unless I force it to end, because there's more work to do
Jim, just click send, that being said
now I'm through

Hope to see you all at market!
