An Ode to Mud Season

An Ode to Mud Season

Farmer Steve is our guest writer today. He is so afflicted by the mud this year, we thought it would be therapeutic for him to write a little about it. Hold on tight...

     The birds have begun to sing their song
     Indicating the arrival of spring will not be long

     It will arrive with a great thud
     But not until after weeks of this thick mud

    We close our eyes and pull up our boots
    Anxiously awaiting the seedlings green shoots

    I cannot wait until the back yard grows some grass
    Because right now it is mud up to my ass

    We share the same evil plight as the alpaca
    Afraid of outdoors and the mud that will attack ya

    My broken tractor makes farming hell
    Especially when there is mud in every field, glen, and dell

    The end of winter is near, the firewood is short
    But instead of cutting more this weekend I think Ill shoot the mud for sport.
