A True Story From CBC Radio


A Canadian farmer stood near his auger

as it twisted a post hole in Saskatchewan.


His mind wandered, his clothing caught,

and he took a sharp turn towards death,

several turns.


The yellow! he screamed, the yellow lever!


In the cab of the tractor, his four-year-old daughter

pulled the right stick, so he didn't die.


Everyone’s proud of me, says the little girl,

and I am proud of my self.
