The Ballad of Bobby and Suzy

Set-a-spell, and I'll spin you a yarn
   of Bobby and Suzy, who lived in a barn:
Rooster crowed at the crack of dawn
   Suzy slept on; Bobby stifled a yawn

But he had to get up; he worked on a farm
   First milk the cows, then get out of that barn
Collect all the eggs that the chickens did lay
   Bobby did his job well; he was handsomely paid

And just what did he make? How much was his pay?
   After work, Suzy'd give him a roll in the hay
She'd get all worked up, all set to explode
   Then from Suzy the cow a load of milk flowed

Farming sounds a lot of fun for sure, who wouldn't turn down a roll in the hay . Tom.
