I need to write a bit about my complicated summer
We stayed out on some farm in Iowa - bummer
The hay was high as an elephant’s eye
The corn was as thick as Hammerstein’s thigh
We stayed on a farm - bummer
I’ll tell you about my summer

There was a Such, back of the yard a piece
It sat like a scarecrow and scared all the geese
The hay was as slick as Roger’s lies
The corn was higher than elephant eyes

I was supposed to have my summer vacation
I greeted the day with such elation
But the cows just mooed, and my mood just lowed
Or the cows just lowed, and my lawn got mowed
I’ll tell you simply about my bummer
We stayed on an Iowa farm summer

The moon was full and the corn was high
And soft clouds filtered the starry sky
The pigs were happy and so were we
As happy as bored teenagers can be

For the cows, their mood was touch and go
But the fields at night had a starry glow
Soft clouds silently flitted by
As the corn waved at the moon so high
I greeted the night with much jubilation
Tomorrow’s work, another situation

Such like a scarecrow it scared the crows
Was that what’sit in the back -Nobody knows
Figuring it out was an awful bummer
That beautiful crazy Iowa summer

Here’s where the tale starts to sound the same
The chicken are sated, the turkey’s still game
It’s odd to divide a stanza by seven
Spastambic fartameter is very strange
theres more to a puzzle than just it’s name
Thirty seven lines and you’re half-way home
Don’t bother to read the rest of the poem

Don’t bother to read the rest of the poem
Thirty nine lines and you’re likely to roam
It’s odd when stanzas divide by eleven
theres less to the puzzle than just what seems
Spastambic fartameter, the verse of dreams
The turkey is stuffed, but the reindeer are game
74 lines start to all sound the same

That beautiful crazy Iowa summer
Figuring it out was an awful bummer
Was that what’sit in the back -who cares?
As long as it sits like a lump and scares

Tomorrow’s work, fraught with trepidation
We greet the pillow, no hesitation
As the corn waves in our silent dreams
And clouds mask o’er whatever seems
But the fields at night had a moony glow
And the sound of the cows, was sweet and low

As happy as any bored lad could be
I fed the pigs and climbed a tree
And hung my legs over naught but sky
Even corn could not quiver so much as I

We stayed on that farm in Iowa all summer
It’s complicated, but on I lumber
the the cows milk flows, and the wild bird crows
Time just simmered, then wore out, then froze
The days went on without salvation
That’s how I spent my summer vacation

That thing called a Such was in the back of the yard
It did not work, but it’s stillness was hard
The grass was as slick as Roger’s lines
The wheat was straighter than elephants’ spines

The hay was high as an elephant’s eye
The corn was as thick as Hammerstein’s thigh
I need to wrap up my complicated yarn
We stayed on the farm and slept in the barn
We stayed out on some farm, an Iowa farm
I hope I have brought your ears no harm.
Kristine, I’ll take the trees and leave you the nutts. You seem to have covered them adequately.

There’s a good Bennett Cerf style poem in there, maybe 40 lines long. All the self-referencing stuff about the poem itself and the farts must go, it’s not funny, just crude and a waste of the reader’s time.

But the poem has some lovely humorous twists, and the versifying ain’t Robert Service, but it ain’t chopped liver either.

Cut it down by 40%.

Keep at poetry.

You’ve got a piece of the right stuff.

You need a final filter.

I guess that’s why you came to me, right?

Well, that’s alright then.
