Plow

John Deere was a good man,
The helper of the land.
The one who made a plow one day
And the farmers said, “Hurray!”

The story of the good man,
I just so happen to know,
It all started a little while ago.

He was born in the month
Of February, 1804.
As he grew up, his dreams were on.
It started in a blacksmith shop
Were he had worked in his teens.
When he got big, his dreams grew like him
And bought the shop in a flash.

In the year of 1837, the helper of the land
Had to show the people
The thing that would change it.
The food was cheaper,
The cities were bigger.

And so you see,
You can probably guess,
What happened last?
Oh boy, I am going to tell you anyway,
He became famous,
And to this day
We thank the man
Who helped the land.
