Making hay
The dry day came
The baler the same
Walking behind they magically pop out
We march to the call and gurn to the shout
The lift is swift
And the landing is firm
On the steel trailer bed
Nothing more to be said
Off to the yard
To the pile at the top
We hide our protest
Man, this is hot
I can't see for the dust
The smell of the hay
Makes us lift faster
I'll remember this day
A neat puzzle is made
My energy will fade
Every bale must fit
Every lift, one of grit
The sweat and the heat
This job is not complete
Once more to the field
To gather the yield
Memories of making hay on hot summers day in Northern Ireland in the 1980s.
