It's the online age. 
You can be a farmer 
from anywhere. You  
have to locate a farm. 

Then I log in, check 
the rows. I compile
some folksy, homespun
code to seed, weed, everything
but reap! Come harvest time?

I do jobs dot com or similar.
I pay pals of mine newfound online.
They do the hard work for real
in the sweat and sun, pulling in
a bumper crop - all from home!  

In this age, days spent easy 
with a bevvy and a tab open 
on a keyboard, checking the
chores, the sun, the rain, all
pouring in before a screen, 

you can be a real farmer 

in your spare time. A farm, 
though. You need at least 
one of those to pull it off. 

But

If you want, you can probably 
just run a sort of a "farm
simulator" deal to get 
a hand in and your feet 
wet, while you build up 
the confidence to go full-on 
rural agribusiness baron.  

What a world this day and age 
has made for us to race and chase 
and never catch up
