To 

 Mr. Marksman who did not hit the mark 



A MAN & A HOE 



The man with a hoe, 

 To his garden must go, 

 If he wishes to see 

 His vegetables grow. 



Any reasoning fox 

 Can easily see 

 The man's not an ox 

 Tho' a laborer he be. 



By the hole in me coat 



I'm a skipper afloat, 



When out to my garden I go. 



I care not for heat, 



The dirt, or wet feet, 



While working with shovel and hoe.
