Thank God for our dirty dishes
Dear Editor,
Our very hard-working, dedicated American farmers should always be highly praised for they provide all of us with the best food in the world.

Farming is not easy. What would we do without farmers? We would not have food to eat, for sure, along with not having other great farm products. Think about the following poem:

Thank God for Dirty Dishes
Thank God for dirty dishes,
They have a tale to tell.
While other folks get hungry,
We are eating very well.
With home and health and happiness,
We shouldn’t want to fuss.
For, by this stack of evidence,
God’s very good to us.

Thank you,
Sherri Mae Robinson
Connersville, Ind.
