/// Ginny carried food out to the field
where the reapers are picking their yield.
It’s A hot Harvest Lunch
with a hard cider punch,
but the stew has cooled off and congealed.
/// Some might think she was tempting the fates
to be using her fine china plates
for an alfresco feast.
It was risky at least,
but to dine off of paper she hates.
/// All the workers were eager to eat,
but they have so much work to complete
that they can’t take a break.
If they did— BIG mistake;
there are quotas they’ve all sworn to meet.
/// This brief window of time’s all they’ve got
to pick produce before it will rot.
Ginny’s food has to wait
‘til they leave the fields, late.
(Those who shirk are deported or shot.)
/// They skipped lunch, but there’s no one to blame.
From a need to feed men, Ginny came.
Wooden shoes on her feet,
she brought good food to eat.
Tell the truth… wooden shoe do the same? ;>)
