[QUOTE="JP1, post: 7303382, member: 54"] Here's the words as the meme blanks a few of them: Men Of The Mart They look quite heavy as they unload, trotting in to the pen, Impartial looks from them droving men, Eight cows with calfs at foot, Dealer looks ....tells me they are good “but” There’s alway a “but”in the dealers eye and I’m not going to even ask him why? ....just a heavy sarcastic sigh, I turn and walk away... it’s his choice to bid today, Cattle steaming in the ring Smells of cud and sweet manure , This is the mart with its magical allure, Weather gouged features, cut from granite faces, Stick held hands that have grappled,gripped and gone to unspeakable places, Fingers grime pitted heads covered with hats that some loved once knitted, Stained, button missing,sting trussed tied rain coats, Hiding beneath shirts with tide stained throats, Grey old trouser lost from their jacket long ago, Left on the wet seat of tractor or under feed bags in the barrow, Standing in wellies these strong hard men of the soil, Experience learned from years of graft and toil, Once strong backs now beginning to bow, Limps and shuffles starting to show, Mind still sharp as the surgeon scalpel, Age dose not bother these men, they are farmers ...gods own and what a great example, Caretakers of the land one and all, Men who may stoop but will for ever stand tall. Phil Stodds 1/02/2019 [/QUOTE]
