The farmer was a socialist

 The farmer    was a socialist

P.R.Ramachander

There  was one farmer  ,

Who said he  was a socialist,

And he decided  that every stage,

Of crop growing, he will share,

Half   with his  bullocks.

He grew the crop of paddy  ,

The straw , he gave  it to the bull,

And he   took the gain for himself,

And he told the   bull “I am a socialist”

Then  he took the rice    home,

Milled it and gave   the paddy husk  ,

To the bullock  and he took the rice,

And he told the bull, “I  am a socialist”

Later   he polished    the rice well,

Gave the   bran to the  bull,

And took the rice for himself,

And he told the bull , “I am a socialist”

Then cooked   the rice   in a pot ,

He gave the extracted   gruel to the bull,

And he ate  the cooked  rice himself,

And the bull told him, “You are a socialist”
