The Farm

“Book length poem by Wendell Berry about tending your farm (and your life). “…or old coyote may Become your supper guest, Unasked and without thanks; He’ll just excerpt a lamb And dine before you know it. But don’t, because of that, Make war against the world And it’s wild appetites. A guard dog or a jenny Would be the proper answer; Our use electric fence. For you must learn to live With the neighbors never chosen As with the ones you chose.””
