A Farmer’s Love Letter
Do you care at all for me, for my heart beats for you and my love is as soft as a squash but as strong as an onion For you are a peach with your reddish hair and turned-up nose You are the apple of my eye, so if we can’t elope then let us marry, anyhow, for I know we would make a happy pair
