Story 68

Farming

If you have a strong arm,

A gun to protect yourself from harm

And if work causes you no alarm

Then life on a farm is but a charm.

Story 69

A True Yarn

The Scots call a mountain lake a tarn. They call a stone landmark a

carn. Although peculiar, the Scots call both an animal house and a

youngster a barn. Be that as it may, the sheep in their barn, provide

the best darn yarn, that any tailor should ever hope to darn.

Change: the “i” is left out of tairn and cairn.
