Farmers Helper

The Tractor in the Field

The rustic old tractor still sits out by the fence 

The shiny long gone, but still beautiful, I’ll say in its defense 

it’s leftover from an age long ago gone by 

there’s a newer model out, by comparison, it flies

one of the most important agriculture components in its day

 it changed the nature of farm work and paved a better way 

With a combustion engine that could rival a car 

It provided a superior machine power by far 

the heart of the farmer was wrapped up in his tractor back in the day 

To own a tractor then, you had to be willing to pay 

now it’s just a centerpiece for flowers on display

It’s been sitting there year after year

that’s probably where it’ll stay
