The County Fair.

By Edwin C. Ranck

Oh, let's go out to the county fair And breathe the balmy country air, And whittle a stick and look at the hosses, Discuss the farmer's profit and losses. We'll take a look at the country stock And drink some milk from a dairy crock; Look at the pigs and admire the chickens, And try to forget it's hot as the dickens. Forget there are any political rings Just think of the butter and eggs and things; So wash off the buggy and hitch up the mare, And we'll all go out to the county fair.
