      Creative Fun On The Farm

      Jul 10, 2020

      Too often, people think a farm is a place of drudgery that can’t feed the creative human spirit. So, when I was asked to write about creativity, music, and art on the farm, I felt inadequate to the task at first, since I’m known as a workaholic. I tr

      PETER PATTER told them to me,

      All the little rimes,

      Whispered them among the bushes

      Half a hundred times.

      Peter lives upon a mountain

      Pretty near the sun,

      Knows the bears and birds and rabbits

      Nearly every one;

      Has a home among the alders,

      Bed of cedar bark,

      Walks alone beneath the pine trees

      Even when it’s dark.

      Squirrels tell him everything

      That happens in the trees,

      Cricket in the gander-grass

      Sings of all he sees;

      Rimes from bats and butterflies,

      Crabs and waterfowl;

      But the best of all he gets

      From his Uncle Owl.

      Sometimes when its day-time,

      But mostly in the night,

      They sit beneath an oak tree

      And hug each other tight,

      And tell their rimes and riddles

      Where the catty creatures prowl—

      Funny little Peter Patter

      And his Uncle Owl.
