   /// As he stood in the barn vestibule,

   she approached with a three-legged stool.

   She inquired as she frowned,

   “Which part goes on the ground?

   I’ve tried both ways, and neither seems cool.”

   /// “With the three thingies down in the mud,

   it’s unsteady— I fell with a thud.

   If they’re up I take care

   with just how and just where

   He suggested she practice on him.

   /// But the truth was he found the girl charming,

   and her ditzy demeanor disarming.

    /// The young farmer’s inclined to ignore

    what she’d done, though it happened before.

    and there’s no sense in crying

    over milk that got spilt on the floor.
