THE AMERICAN AND THE WELSH FARMER

AN AMERICAN FARMER WAS ON

HOLIDAY IN WALES. 

HE COULD NOT RESIST EXPLORING THE

HILL FARMS NORTH OF ABERYSTWYTH. 

AT LUNCH TIME HE DROPPED INTO A

PUB AND FELL INTO EASY CONVERSATION

WITH A WELSH FARMER.

“HOW BIG IS YOUR SPREAD?”,

ASKED THE AMERICAN.

“WELL LOOK YOU,

IT'S ABOUT 20 ACRES HE SAID”. 

“ONLY 20 ACRES” THE AMERICAN RESPONDED,

“BACK IN TEXAS I CAN GET UP AT SUNRISE,

SADDLE MY HORSE AND RIDE ALL DAY,

WHEN I RETURN AT SUPPER TIME,

I'LL BE LUCKY TO COVER HALF MY FARM”.  

“DEW DEW”, SAID THE WELSHMAN,

“I ONCE HAD A HORSE LIKE THAT,

BUT SENT HIM TO THE KNACKERS YARD.”
