What I Should Do Is Have To Hoe

What I Should Do Is Have to Hoe

What I should do is have to hoe,
Up and down then row by row;,
And soil till;
Seeds spill;
Soon things will begin to grow.

Premium Member daddy potato head using a hoe

Daddy potato head was using his hoe in a wicked way
Chopping up parsley and rhubarb, throwing it past Monday
Tuesday did not like it, it is shriveled and dried up he said.
Daddy Potato head did not realize he was making them dead.

Premium Member 11 Year Old Farm Hands

Listen to poem:
11-year-old farm hands
David J Walker

What do the city kids do 
In the summer
We
	The 11-year-old farmhands
Don’t know
All we  know is
	Which end of the hoe 
Goes into the hard ground
And which end will blister 
	Our hands

The Hoe

The world loves crippling
particularly if weakness
applies to a manner of spoken language
mouth that does not squeaks
is like a hoe with no claws sunk in the ground
only combing and stroking
instead of tearing and crumbling the stony grass

Crumbled Leaves of Fall

I CRUMBLED YOUR LEAVES
WITH GLOVED HANDS
AND MIXED THE RESIDUE WITH SAND
I PLANTED MY COLLARDS AND KALE
MY TURNIPS AND HORSRADISHES
SOME WERE IN THE PALE
I CRUMBLED YOUR PRETTY LEAVES
SO THAT THEY MIGHT NURISH MY PLANTS
COMPSOE IN THESE SANDS
FOOD FOR MY PLANTS!

Premium Member hillbilly hoe down

hllbilly hoe down
hard piece of straw in each mouth
bibbed overall dance

banjos and fiddles
potluck of fancy desserts
arkansas ham hocks

hound dogs on the porch
homemade corn liquor from gramps
square dancing parents

loud bluegrass music
pink taffy pull for the kids
toothless grandmothers

In Vice of Time

Like a sappy fruit
in vice of time,
a slobber root -
a top cut by a knife.

Thick drops in a pot
down slowly trickle,                                                         
hold firmly a cup,
set off a ripple.
 
Must hoe one's row,   
time, here, I see,
for muck and your
fruits marc will be.

Pass the Hoe Down

If this is all there is
No God
No paradise
No Hell
Only this
And if everyone was aware
Of this
Would a man with the capability
Destroy it
On a whim?
Why not?
If this is all we get
Why not enjoy it?
This could be
This may be
Eden
We may even enjoy
Gardening
For a while
If a while is
All of it

Premium Member Crow Hoe Down

The crow rejoiced in the field today.
Husks were popped open with maize showing through.
Crop was up, smiling in her special way.
There was so much corn, what could a young crow do?
He held a hoe down, invited twenty-two.
They danced their claws off; they were heard in hell.
Enough corn to keep them through the winter spell.

How Now Slough

Although it’s a hard row to hoe a rough furrow to harrow and a tough trench to plough there’s many a meadow to mow I hereby avow and tho' it may be news to you farmers have the need to sow their seeds where milkmaids milk the cows swineherds feed their sows and shepherds have their pie and eat it too in Slough now

Premium Member It Is a Hoe Down

It is a hoe down the fly told the titmouse
Where though? I only see one house
It’s invisible, but there are clues, I think.
It’s under a mushroom whose inside is all pink.

They searched together, but never found the party.
I’ve got an idea said the titmouse, whose name was Hearty.
Let’s host our own party and invite the fey and fireflies bright.
Great idea! The testy fly said, “This plan feels just right!”

If I Had a Hoe

If I'd a hoe,
in frozen Maine or Idaho,
I'd go on raking,
shivering and shaking,
 all over this land.
I'd go reseeding after weeding
Brother, though your heart is aching,
and the field work is back-breaking,,
We've got to go on raking.
Sister, strengthen us by baking

Singing children, join the chorus.
The seven dwarfs are for us.
Uncle Sam and Santa Claus 
cheer us on on without a pause.
Hoe, hoe, hoe!

Your Hoe

YOUR HOE


AS I SIT HERE IN A PUDDLE OF BLOOD,

WONDERIN WHAT I DID SO WRONG,

WHY DID YOU DO THIS TO ME,

AND WAS IT MY FAULT,

YOU CHEATED ON ME.

AND SHE KNEW,

WHAT KIND OF HOE WOULD LET YOU DO THAT.

SO FOR A SOLUTION TO MY PROBLEM I CUT MYSELF.

SO AS I SIT HERE SLOWLY DYING,

WATCHIN MY BLOOD FLOW, 

I CANT SEEM TO UNDERSTAND

WHY WHEN I CLOSE MY EYES 

ALL I CAN SEE IS YOU AND YOUR HOE

Hard Row To Hoe

See her in the flowers,
that she walks by everyday,
listen to the meadowlark,
and what he has to say.

Feel the Earth that's turning,
so your heart can be set free,
see these words are burning,
written hastily by me.

Leave behind the hardship,
the bitter clouds of woe,
follow down your family,
where your seeds will surely grow.

Seek the book for guidance,
may the Lord now take your hand,
no need to strive for perfect,
for your heart he'll understand.
