Country Kids Vs. City Kids

Country kids love the mud
And watching their cows chew their cud.
City kids don‘t grow their own greens,
But they are willing to spend plenty on jeans.
Country kids tans from working in the sun.
City kids tans after paying someone a ton.
Country kids aren’t afraid to get dirty working hard or bringing in hay,
City kids work at cash registers waiting all week for their pay.
In my opinion,
Country living is the way to go
Because trotting around in a river or snow
Is much better than catching some fancy Broadway show.
