Hilda Greenhough Poet Limerick

Poll

A farmer drove into town.
Some posters made him frown.
They said, "Go to the Poll".
He said,"In the pasture below?"
"Right now, they're standing a'chowin'".

(To understand this limerick, you must understand that a polled cow has no horns from birth)

Sotto Poet April 29, 2024 at 4:42 PM Great limerick, Hilda, on farmer duties and election voting. It analyzes the conflict between a farmer's rural existence and political participation. Hilda Greenhough April 29, 2024 at 4:57 PM Thank you. I hope farmers get more political interest.
