‘ferals on the farm’ is a collection of stories written as poetry through the eyes of a twelve-year-old boys’ experiences with his family, relations, and friends. the poems reflect from humorous to sad times that occur with the running of a small family farm.
alan, the writer, is twelve years old and has a twin brother ronald. his older brother johnny is seventeen years old and has left school to work on farms around the district as well as working for his keep at home. bruce is alans’ little brother, just three years old and often learns the hard way in a few of life’s experiences.
dad is the butt of many problems that arise because he classes himself as head of the family, and, as head of the family the responsibility ends with dad although when there becomes a complicated problem that dad classes as a ‘thorn in the foot’, he is only too willing to hand the problem across to mum who sums up, then decides whether her help is necessary.
the characters seem to have endless problems, too many for one typical family; however each of the poems is an occurrence i have heard and laughed about. maybe you, the reader have also encountered one or two of these experiences.
