SOCS – plot
For Linda’s challenge:
The Friday Reminder and Prompt for #SoCS Dec. 27, 2025
***
Your Friday prompt for Stream of Consciousness Saturday is “plot.” Use it any way you’d like. Enjoy!
***
A farmer once had a plot
In summer his plot was hot
So he dug a trench
In order to drench
And water flowed to hit the spot
His plot grew lots of food
Which put him in a good mood
He sold at the market
Putting money in his pocket
He was known as the Farmer Dude
***

Many years ago my in-laws lived on a farm and tilled the earth, grew vegetables, and harvested them.
Father in law’s vegetable field
As far as I know, he was not known as Farmer Dude, and they didn’t go to market to sell vegetables.

Isn’t there another verse to that limerick? (How long did that money stay in his pocket? Before his wife got a hold of it?)

My first husband was good at growing strawberries. Another young couple grew cabbages, so we swapped.
Hubby and I have had luck with onions, tomatoes, green beans, cabbages, and potatoes, and have shared with our friends. We didn’t grow anything this year as we’d hoped to be moving. Don’t know about 2026 yet.

Thanks, Di! That is really good that you’re able to grow lots of good vegetables. They are always better than store bought I think. We’ve had a garden a couple of times and got a few things from it. Not from me doing anything, except maybe going out to pick things off the plant. My husband did all the planting and stuff. 🙂

Thanks, Carol Anne! I’m glad you like the poem/limericks. It is kind of fun to have a little garden plot for your own use, but big farms with fields full of produce sure would take a lot of work. 🙂
