AN opportunity to hire
OUT on a farm and our
FARMER friend said he
WOULDN’T ask us to
WORK more than about
SIXTEEN hours a day
AND the rest of the
TIME we could have
ALL to ourself, and
HE promised to pay us
WHAT we were worth
AND right there the
NEGOTIATIONS ended
BECAUSE we won’t work
FOR that, and besides
WHEN we work on a
FARM we always break
A LOT of fork handles,
NOT to mention the
AWFUL damage we do to
THE ham and eggs and
THE cherry pie, so
ALL in all, we guess
WE’D better stick
RIGHT here to the
DRUG business.
