the Tax Collector the Farmer and the Reverand

the farmer grew two dozen bushels of grain last season, Tithed a share to his seed store, tithed a share to his Church, and trades the rest with store Keeper in town for what his farm did need for next season. Was a cold lean winter, Farmer don't have two bits to rub together by springtime, just the good credit of the Storekeep, the Preacher and farmer's trusty Seed share.

then come Friendly tax man tells that farmer he ought to pay his share, his two bit share of what uncle sam did right and up give the good farmer, the land, the rivers, the mountains and the rails.

Good Ol Uncle Sam Says we better pay our share of all God did grace on gods country, and the bit the old farmer did grow.

Farmer knows the preacher says God made the rivers and the trees and the good working hands of god's people... so farmer is a bit confused.

Farmer knows his farm does grow two dozen bushels of two dozen sorts, try all he searched though, Farmer never did see a two bit grow up from the weeds, just the grain and the weeds did grow, oh no two bit did grow!

what pocket does uncle Sam have that is not the pocket of us all?

Uncle Sam took the farmers boy off to war last year, uncle Sam took Farmers two bits made two bullets, one bullet for the farmers boy to put in his gun, one bullet for a farmers boy from the other side of the farm to put in his gun too. Who started the war again? UNCLE SAM, UNCLE SAM, UNCLE SAME OLD SAM.
