Three acres was just enough
to keep neighbors, neighborly
Keep them just far enough away
not to crowd
But keep them close enough
to lend a hand if need be
A third an acre
ain't enough these days
To keep from spying too much
even if we're not trying too much
I feel a herded stock
kept partly by a mad farmer
Off to pasture I head
givin' challenge,
and too mad to farm.
