Gershon Wolf Poet Rhyme

Delightfully Alarming Wisdom On Farming

Beef is conceived in a package
  Onions are grown in a bag
Sardines swim best in oil
  Pebbles thrive in the soil

Today's teens don't know geography
  But they sure do know about farming
Lines above from youth essays on agriculture
  Aren't they delightfully alarming?

Terry Flood June 19, 2021 at 3:29 PM I think I’ve mentioned this before but a survey found that many kids think fish fingers... are chicken. Is there any hope for the human race? Great write... but frightening! Terry Gershon Wolf June 19, 2021 at 8:22 PM At least they know the difference between non-human and human fingers. Let's give our kids credit! (But only debit cards. lol.) Don't give up the ship, Terry. Take care, gw

Rico Leffanta June 18, 2021 at 10:23 AM As our Congress insists, "Cannon fodder does not need an education". Gershon Wolf June 19, 2021 at 8:16 PM Cannon fodder and inner-city kids treated the same by Congress. Proof's in the pudding. ~ gw
