F is for Farm Animals.
2Which you should know about even if you don’t live in the country,
3Because a man who doesn’t know anything about animals is the worst kind of fool,
4And can be made to look completely ridiculous by cows,
5And horses,
6And goats,
7And sheep,
8And geese,
9And chickens,
10And also the wild animals that eat farm animals or crops,
11Like weasels,
12And foxes,
13And the bigger hawks,
14And rats,
15And all those good-for-nothing rabbits and squirrels and coons,
16Not to mention losing out on the pleasure of appreciating the wild things that live in and around farms without hurting anything,
17Like loons,
18And mourning doves,
19And tree frogs,
20And barn swallows,
21And crows,
22And hummingbirds,
23And deer, which some people like to hunt, unless they got a bellyful of killing somewhere else, like I did,
24And groundhogs,
25And beavers,
26And otters sometimes, if you’ve got the right kind of pond,
27And certain kinds of snakes, I guess,
28And if you’re lucky, maybe even the occasional black bear.
