OLD FARMER JACK
Old farmer Jack gazed on his wheat,
   And feared the frost would nip it.
Said he, "it's nearly seven feet -
   I must begin to strip 'it.

He stripped it with a stripper and He bagged it with a bagger; The bags were all so lumpy that They made the bumper stagger.
The lumper staggered up the stack Where he was told to stack it; And Jack was paid and put the cash Inside his linen jacket.
