Barley, Oats, Wheat and Rye. <br />Four field fruits I hold very high. <br />Wheat for our bread and cakes, <br />and all of the delicacies that the Baker makes. <br />Barley is used for making Whisky, <br />Oats fed to a horse keep him frisky. <br />Then of course there is the Rye, <br />A useful poetic word that rhymes with eye, <br />Or sigh, or nigh, or by, not forgetting sky. <br />Oats of course for Porridge, salty and hot, <br />Without it the Scots would be in a spot. <br />Barley for the making of soups, <br />Nice and thick ladled with scoops. <br />Four Field Fruits I hold very high, <br />Barley Oats, Wheat and Rye.<br /><br />Bernard Shaw<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/field-fruits/
