Ralph was here for 24 hours
Just enough time to smell the flowers.
And play some golf and eat a steak
And home grown corn and spuds we'd baked.
He left early morn on Monday last
No sun to see, it was overcast.
He made it home to see his sweetie,
And now we're hoping he comes back soon and brings his wife and helps around the farm like harvesting and mowing and the like, and if we get enough work out of him we'll get the pontoon out and go up the river for supper and that neat restaurant. (If'n he'll buy agin.)
