Show VU BACK TO THE FARM There are too many "dreamers and thlnkerB," And not enough tillers of soil; There are too many eaters and drinkers Who use up the products of toll;" There are too many boosters and boomers, With manners too easy and bland; We're cursed with too many consumers. consum-ers. We ought to go back to the land. There are too many getters and takers, tak-ers, And not enough men who produce; There aro too many broad rolling acreB Untouched and unttlled--out of use; We stick where the grime and' the grit 1b, And the streets with the poor are aswarm ; We're crowded too much In tho cltios, We ought to go back to tho farm. Wovc got to be workers and plow-ers, plow-ers, Who sweat In the fields like true men; We've got to mako use of our powers To mako the land blossom again. What, me? On a farm? And to stay there? Well, not for a bundlo of pelf! I will try to show you the way there, But I'll stick to tho city mysolf. T. B. in Topnotch. |
