.
At it all day is he
With three minutes to sit
Under gnarled old tree,
Feeling free, loving grass,
Thanking the breeze,
Thinking dirt is soft after
Teaching it honesty,
Finding respite in shade,
Resting sore hands and worn,
Loving Rich watermelon is he.

Yes, his young successors
Avoid dirt, neglect trees,
Think less of grass,
Withdraw from breeze,
And assess melon to be
A Poor choice for filling
Full bellies at play, having been
At it all day.
