Barley Haiku

Let us cut some grain
With a tractor, saves us pain.
15 minutes. Done.

Wow, this is insane.
How long to sort and bundle?
The earth made one turn.

Here the grain does dry
Under sometimes cloudy skies.
Now it's time to thresh.

Test threshing made me
Cry with tears of straw and chaff.
Four hours for one pound.

Now I have a plan.
A Threshing Bee this weekend
Here in Monroe town.

The grain will arrive
via truck with me inside.
I hope to persuade.

Next year all I need
Is 250 grand for a
grain combine machine.
