Down On The Farm

Farm Heroes Assemble

By Joseph D HamiltonPublished 5 years ago 1 min read

Somewhere in the shadows

And lurking in mystery

Stands a group of heroes

Unknown throughout history

Watching and waiting

With super-sensitive hearing

For the criminal element

To make them flee at their appearing

With the masked cow avenger

Who is there to take the lead?

And the gray goat in his boots

As he warns us all to pay heed

The mighty sea horse with scuba and all

He can reason with fish in a moment if called

The pig in his blanket a centennial on guard

Who latches on to opponents and hits them with lard

The amazing wonder llama and his sidekick the duck

and the masked fouls of course with strength like a truck

All defending the barnyard in their own special way

Empowered by moonshine and sweet-smelling hay

If ever you feel as though you are distressed

If you know where to find them and they can get dressed

Just let out a cackle a nay or a crow
