A Tractor's Wife

entry picture

Tractors gaining traction

In and of my life

Never did I ever think 

That I would be a tractor's wife.

Implements and attachments

Belts and belts galore

Reapers, tillers, composters

Who could ask for more?

Aerators and harvesters

Plows; for winter and for spring

Lots and lots and lots of tires

Damn near everything...

That someone would ever want

If they should own a farm

But I've got barely one acre

With my house upon.

My real life husband tells me

He needs these rusty things around

But he's a car-haulin' truck driver

Who is always out of town.

I like this a lot. Reminds me of the joke about a guy who was mad on tractors and then inexplicably gave up the hobby. He was now an ex-tractor fan! Thank you for the words, great.?
