Not all the farmer's trusted servants
are green, you know.
Some pick cotton, some pick corn,
while scattering phesants on an autumn morn.
and of course, there's an old, reliable red
puttering in the fields and planting corn.
the popping and growling diesels
with big wheels which contain
stretched out jack o'lanterns.
The smaller forms of Mr. McCormick's pride and joy
helped form a fam kid's toy paradise.
And when the big ones are done,
the little ones come along to clean up
after a long day on the backyard forty.
She's always been a noble help,
whether a rickety small gray tractor
or a lumberng red behemoth
whose wheels take up the road.
Forever red? Primarily,
but those old trucks can be gray,
or black or even a very dark green
roaring to take livestock to market.
Or grain to the elevator.
And back at the house,
mom keeps the food cold and colder with that familiar sign.
Not all the farmer's trusted servants
wear the color green.
some wear orange, some wear yellow,
with the mighty eagle
perched upon the globe.
And thre are those of many colors,
but mostly black and white and red,
forever red..
