Classic Poem

My hens are hatching,
My house is thatching,
My geese a-gaggling,
My wife a-draggling,
My corn a-threshing,
My sheep a-washing,
My turf a-drawing,
My timber sawing,
My gravel walk raking,
My rolling-stone making,
My ale a-brewing,
Myself a-stewing,
My boys a-teaching,
My webs a-bleaching,
My daughters reading,
My garden weeding,
My lime a-burning
My milk a-churning.
In short, all nature seems to be at work,
Busy as Kouly Kan against the Turk.
