implies that the recipient is inexperienced and a bad farmer.

| Notes |
Text: A farmer's life's the life for me, / A farmer's lad I mean to be; / So sweet to go, at early morn, / And give the little
chicks their corn; / To milk the pigs, and shear the cows, / And see the 'punkins' on the boughs; / To gaze on all the lovely
scene, / And be, just like the landscape, green.
