Thank you to the farmers.

So many hate the farmers,
they don't like tractors on the roads,
especially those with trailers
and a slow and heavy load.
They moan about the cattle
they complain they hear them moo,
and phone up to say the bale stack
is blocking up their view.
But when the roads are icy
and then it starts to snow,
and they're stuck on hills and ditches
and can't get their car to go
The first one that they phone up
is the guy down on the farm,
they know he's got a tractor
and it can't do any harm.
And suddenly he's a hero
with a tractor and a rope,
the first one that they call out
when they cannot cope.
And he always takes the call out
he doesn't want your money,
he'll do his best to help you
I think it's rather funny.
Because they will soon forget him
when the snow has gone away,
and they're stuck behind his trailer
loaded up with hay.
