hill farmers prayer



Oh dear lord its me the farmer

down on my knees to pray

this time its not the weather

but I have some bills to pay


bills for the corn merchant

the banks overdraft demand

first it's BEXIT then it's Covid

they don't seem to understand


Sadly I know I that I must

send some stock off for slaughter

the lamb is now fully grown

the one owned by my daughter


the government has helped others

getting paid to do nowt all day

busy harvesting and bailing

only rain will cause delay


so please help this uphill farmer

until the wool cheque is in my hand

I may only put pennies in the collection

but I really need a couple of grand
