Low Price of Cheese

by James McIntyre

From Standard Ebooks · standardebooks/james-mcintyre_poetry

When the price of cheese was so low that the farmers threatened to kill or sell off their cows, we circulated the following lines freely among them:
Price soon will rise though now ’tis low And brooks of milk will onward flow, Were they collected in one stream There would be floods of milk and cream.
