Fannie's going in for farming, And it's not a "fad" she claims; Fannie's pretty, Fannie's charming, With her "isms" and her aims. Since she studied agriculture -- And can tell you beans from hops, She's been hungry as a vulture For all treatises on crops. Fannie's going in for farming, Or she'll know the reason why. Some would deem my case alarming, No such doleful suitor I. Opposition would repel her; Sooth, I rather like her plan, And I'll call to-night and tell her That I'll be her husbandman! | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...GOAL by GEORGIA DOUGLAS JOHNSON SURFACES AND MASKS; 6 by CLARENCE MAJOR SUNSET FROM OMAHA HOTEL WINDOW by CARL SANDBURG WASHING-DAY by ANNA LETITIA BARBAULD ODE TO FEAR by WILLIAM COLLINS (1721-1759) LAST SONNET (REVISED VERSION) by JOHN KEATS |
