The Green Acres Show

There once was a show named Green Acres
Of which brought many laughs to the takers

There were two main actors for the show
Eddie Albert and Eva Gabor, great ones you know

The characters were interesting and a bit strange
Oliver and Lisa had a bit of a farm on this range

Neither knew one thing about farming
And Oliver did it all in a suit, how charming

Lisa did not want to be there but rather in the city
She always ended up doing things just for pity

The show all in all, is quite a crazy show
Simple minded folk is all you need to know

Don’t be fooled, they seem different than they are
Ignorant though the seem, they’ll take it all

Clever little show Green Acres is in reality
Humor is ever present, laughter is plenty

Something that is usually heard throughout
Laughter is always there, the show’s funny no doubt

Remember how everybody except Oliver knew what Arnold Ziffel the pig was saying? That was one of the paradoxes of the show. Oliver was the NYC law firm partner who decided to live a bucolic life, and he proved to be the most gullible by buying the farm from Mr. Haney (played by Gene Autry's longtime friend Pat Buttram). Good write Russell.
