Men Who Stew At Oats

Old butt’s mutter and peep grinding their teeth                                                               
hedge of protection around principle wheat                                                                    
through a fence just out of reach                                                                                
Oat’s by God’s mercy you just can’t eat                                                                      
bearded chin’s rattling horn’s upon posts repeat                                                            
extra senses would stay with in fence as the wheat                                                            
If Goats could only read then believe                                                                           
they could be gathered in garner sweet                                                                    
choosing rather black hops tares chaff beat                                                                 
butting their own head’s to their own defeat
