Just right tall
lush and dark green
a picture of health
and productivity
 
A child of success
the corn plant stood
food factory, par excellance
 
From one tiny seed
six hundred grew
a hundred day miracle
of science, environment, and work
 
A symphony American
genetics, engineering, machinery,
ethics and government
conducted by a people, a nation
 
So, the single farmer
supported by family
and a host of helpers off the farm
feeds himself, and 155 others
