OLD FARMER POEMS, SONGS & OTHER WRITINGS. Compiled and edited by Richard Kent Streeter.
__Humor, irony, work, play, insight, nostalgia. . .and much more is here in the "eye level" collection by and about Americans who lived on farms in old-time dirt farming days.
__"From my grandmother's scrapbook and other places that honor the realities and dreams of old time American dirt farmers-the soil from which I grew," writes the editor who was raised on a 249-acre farm in Sullivan Co., Missouri, a quarter mile down the hill from his Grandma Streeter, whose family settle on the place in the 1870s. They farmed with horses and mules, milked by hand, attended one-room schools and one-room churches beside their community graveyards.
__The subject matter in this book was taken from Grandma Streeter's early 1900s scrapbook and other period sources and is mostly a "straight at" look at old-time farming days and the people who lived them. For the most part, the poems are their poems; the songs are the ones they sang. This is not mere reminiscing about "the olden days" in rural America.
__Some of the poems are: The Farmer Feeds Them All, Corn Picking Time, The Farmer's Wife, When Pa Was A Boy, Sharecropper, The Snowstorm, The Calf Path and The Tricky Mule.
__Songs include, Company's Comin', Everything's Okay, Pickin' Time, The Old Walkin' Plow and Out Behind the Barn.
__Other writings include, Conversation with A Mule, Counting Eggs, 1848 Southeastern Tennessee, Plowing Corn and The 1940 Farmer.
