Carefree and Simple
CAREFREE AND SIMPLE
my daily fancy
i’d love to live on a farm
in hilly country
mountain peaks in the distance
the animals all carefree
then a further thought
we’d have a good fishing pond
oh, not a huge lake
just large enough to boat, swim,
and ice skate in the winter
central to the spread
this cozy, two-story house
with a sitting porch
white picket fence surrounding
and willows, elm, and maple
barn all painted red
ladder-climb to the hayloft
horses in their stalls
one big upper story door
for sitting on moonlit nights
neighbors not too far
but scattered among the hills
with a steeple church
modern, not gothic or weird
but emblem of good feeling
and these final thoughts –
a big Saturday night dance
in the county hall
smart looking gal on my arm
just hear those hoe-down fiddles!
