Farmer Fred's Not Dead

Farmer Fred reports with dread
He felt a bit light in the head
His wife sent him straight to bed
First time ever since they’d been wed
Fred tossed about with face turned red
Complained his stomach felt like lead
When suddenly he leapt from the bed
Proceeding directly to the head
I shan’t retell what transpired, instead
A quote direct from Farmer Fred
“I believe it something I was fed
That made me go all light in the head
And made my stomach feel like lead”
“First time ever since I’ve been wed
I felt so ill I’d wished I were dead”

Fun little tale about farmer Fred's sour stomach. You got a lot of mileage out of the 'dead' rhymes! Enjoyed this tonight, Kenneth, lots of fun ~ John
