Robert W Service - The Farmer`s Daughter
Work rating: Medium

The Rector met a little lass
Who led a heifer by a rope.
Said he: "Why don`t you go to Mass?
Do you not want to please the Pope?"

The village maiden made reply,
As on the rope she ceased to pull:
"My father said this morning I
Must take Paquerette to see the bull."

The Rector frowned. ";Tis wrong, I wist
To leave your prayer-book on the shelf.
Your father has a stronger wrist;
Why can`t he do the job himself?"

Then lovely in her innocence,
With gaze as pure as meadow pool,
The maid spoke in her sire`s defense:
"But Daddy, please your Reverence,
Would rather leave it to the bull."
