The Green Acres Show

There once was a show named Green Acres Of which brought many laughs to the takers There were two main actors for the show Eddie Albert and Eva Gabor, great ones you know The characters were interesting and a bit strange Oliver and Lisa had a bit of a farm on this range Neither knew one thing about farming And Oliver did it all in a suit, how charming Lisa did not want to be there but rather in the city She always ended up doing things just for pity The show all in all, is quite a crazy show Simple minded folk is all you need to know Don’t be fooled, they seem different than they are Ignorant though the seem, they’ll take it all Clever little show Green Acres is in reality Humor is ever present, laughter is plenty Something that is usually heard throughout Laughter is always there, the show’s funny no doubt Russell Sivey Entrant into Michael J.

Remember how everybody except Oliver knew what Arnold Ziffel the pig was saying? That was one of the paradoxes of the show. Oliver was the NYC law firm partner who decided to live a bucolic life, and he proved to be the most gullible by buying the farm from Mr. Haney (played by Gene Autry's longtime friend Pat Buttram). Good write Russell.
