They are good and honest folks <br />Their land has so much to give <br />They grow crops across the prairie <br />In the good life that they live <br /> <br />Just plain ordinary people they are <br />Living by uncomplicated rules <br />Life isn’t easy but it’s made simple <br />Their parents didn’t raise no fools <br /> <br />Plant their crops and let them grow <br />Nourish them and they’ll be grand <br />They raise their kids the same way <br />On this worn but rich sweet land <br /> <br />They never waste a single thing <br />And teach their kids the same <br />It’s part of their way of life <br />Proud that their world is plain <br /> <br />They teach and live exactly by <br />The golden rule that we all know <br />Not afraid to hug their kids and <br />They love them and tell them so <br /> <br />If you’d like to meet some folks <br />That don’t want a mansion or castle <br />You’ll love the kind of folks that are <br />Just plain good prairie people!<br /><br />Marilyn Lott<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/prairie-people/
