The Hero Farmer

My wife says I'm her hero
Her knight in shining armor
My tractor is my batmobile
Disguised as a simple farmer

I'll save those chickens from that fox
Each night when the sun goes down
I'll make that chicken coop safe again
For my fame is county renown

I'm known as the garden protector
Those vermin had better take heed
I've even taken a solid oath
To hunt down every weed

My costume is my overalls
Complete with magic boots
I tromp around in cow manure
And kick up stubborn roots

My hideout is a big red barn
Built on bottom land
Protecting all the animals
With a pitchfork in my hand

I met my wife at the farmer's market
She said I was quite the charmer
Of course she didn't have any idea
That she was marrying the Hero Farmer
