Naracoorte Nonsense ?

 

Two tiny steam engines following along

both of them singing their sweet little song,

sucking up dust, spreading to air,

the farmer must feel downhearted despair.

But no !

He is just - clover seed harvesting.

Collecting seeds, expelling some dust,

think him a little deranged if you must.

 

Five bags to the acre, not measured in tonnes,

compared to other grains, then it’s bag up or bust.

 

Sixteen harvesters working all day

filling one silo wont bring in much pay.
