    No fools, they, farmers use every day of the season.
    They know what they grow, and this rain is quite pleasin’!

    There are two types of liars. Those who knowingly spread falsehoods, and those who are deceived (by self or others) into thinking certain falsehoods are truths. They end up lying in both word and deed because they have fundamental beliefs that are based on a layered foundation of untruth.

    International Beaver Day
    Motherhood and Beauty Day

    There’s many men forget their proper station
    And still are meddling with the administration
    Of government; that’s wrong and this is right,
    And such a law is out of reason quite;
    Thus, spending too much thoughts on state affairs,
    The business is neglected, which is theirs,
    So some fond traveller gazing at the stars,
    Slips in next ditch, and gets a dirty arse.
