Poem: Farmer’s Friend

LET US SING

Farmer’s Friend

Often seen as filth

But gives the soil good health

To reward the farmer with wealth.

Ploughs the soil before farmer

Use not the chemicals to harm her

Please praise our mother land’s armour.

Shy to show his looks

Toils often on fishing hooks

To give the fisher something to cook.

Be humble like a worm

Think no one to harm

You will be free to spread your charm.

Note to the teacher: Sing the song with actions. Encourage children to listen and sing along with actions.
