Chores

   Papa wants me to know
   how it was long ago
   when he had chores to be done.

   He helped me build a pen
   to put goats and pigs in
   and I have to feed them, every one.

   I shell the corn and mix the feed,
   then I feed the animals and give them
   water they need.

   It's lots of fun to learn the old ways,
   even if I do live in computer days!
