The Farmer's Field
A young man set forth to plant his seeds.
As both farmer and the young man had agreed.
The farmer's duty - to nourish the field,
The young man's chore - to harvest the yield.
Indeed the farmer's field was fertile.
And soon the seeds began to grow.
Within a few weeks the sprouts began to show.
The young man's face, full of pride, aglow.
But the farmer changed her mind soon thereafter.
Said, "The field is mine, I foresee disaster."
The young man pleaded for his rights,
But no contract signed, just word of mouth and trust.
The farmer got her way, and ploughed the field to dust.
