the burbles

the burbles farmed, but had no land
the burbles had some shacks
they grew a corn crop on their roof
and raised milk goats on their backs

they developed such a lowly bow
the townsfolk thought them modest
and when the goats began to dance
the sight was surely oddest

they raised up ladders to pick the corn
the goats were getting irked
the brother milked the sister's goats
and uncle burble lurked

and when the sun fell to the trees
they lay down sleepy heads
and as they dreamed, the goats
munched on the wheat fields in their beds
