Beet harvest time is the muddiest time The roads are all covered in clay I'll draw you a picture in this little rhyme It's raining almost every single day The mud on the street turns slippery then And you have to drive careful I'd say The farmers work as fast as they can Sometimes they're loading trucks all night They'll sleep some time but can't say when It's harvest time but not a pretty sight And accidents happen real quick Don't take the beet harvest time too light They pile up the beets, make heaps real big And mud dripping off by the pouring rain Smashed up roadsides make me sick By getting angry I've nothing to gain I'm just a guest in this farmland here They earn a living and I won't complain I'll keep washing mud from clothes I fear And my car is gray instead of green So, don't visit me in beet harvest time, dear Like scattered leaves...my words will flow [This message has been edited by Titia Geertman (11-11-2002 08:31 PM).] |

Harvest no matter where is a rectic time for farmers...their whole year depends on getting the crop out of the fields and to market...I guess a little patience is due them...or we don't eat.. ...believe what your heart feels... [This message has been edited by scorpio (11-11-2002 07:53 PM).] |

Sounds like harvest time is a time that can't be beet!!  It has never been easy being part of the beet generation! They just dance to the beet of a different farmer!! (I crack myself up!!!)  Nicely done, dutchie! |
