Farmers' Market

FARMERS' MARKET

Customers swarming like bees

            At the farmers' market.

Long line to have a farmer

            Bag my peaches.

So busy taking SNAP coupons

            So many paid him.

                        Government money.

            Soon to disappear, says Congress.

"Where's your help?" I asked.

            Mexicans used to bag my peaches.

"ICE," he said.

            "They all disappeared

                        When ICE appeared.

            Now I have no help."

"Thanks to Trump, eh?"

            "Hey, don't knock Trump.

                        He's owning the libs."

"I guess that's true," I said,

            As he took the SNAP coupons

                        From another customer.

"He's owning the libs."
