"BITE ME"

Be careful what you say

"Bite Me"

There was an old farmer

Who had an old dog,

A mule, some chickens and a cow

 

Day in and day out

He worked that old mule

As he and the dog followed the plow

 

He would start the day

By milking the cow

And gathering all the eggs he could get

 

He cared for his animals

And he talked to each one

The old farmer considered them all pets

 

Then out to the barn

For daylight was burnin

He would feed the ornery old Jack

 

Take him out of his stall

Hook him up to the plow

And holler as the whip he would crack

 

For years and years

He worked the fields

The farmer kept plowing his land

 

Then one real hot day

The mule stopped in his tracks

Turned around and took a stand

 

“Bite me” old man

I’m as tired as you

It’s time we put this old plow away

 

Now take off this harness

Unhook the plow

And let me go out and play

 

The old farmer dropped

The reins and the plow

And ran away fast as a cat on fire

 

The old dog at his side

With his tale t’ween his legs

If he told anyone they would call him a liar

 

From a distance he stood shaking

And spoke under his breath

“Can you believe words just came out of that mule”

 

The old dog looked up

And to the farmer's surprise

Said: “Yeh, Scared the hell out of me too”

 

Now the plow sits still,

The animals play all day

And the farmer has nothing to do

 

But collect entrance fees

From the crowds gathered round

Hoping to hear ol’ Jack talk to them too.
