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
