Down in the valley there was three farms. The owners of these farms are rich men. Their names are Farmer Boggis, Farmer Bunce, and Farmer Bean.
Boggis was a chicken farmer. He keeps thousands of chickens . He eatsthree boiled chickens every day for breakfast, lunch and dinner.
Bunce is s ducj and goose farmer. He keeps thousands of ducks and geese. He makes a disgusting paste from livers and puts in into the doughnuts. This diet gives him
a bad temper.
Bean is a turkey and apple farmer. He keeps thousands of turkey in an orchard full of apple trees. He drinks gallons of strong cider which he makes from the apples in his orchard . He is thin as a pencil and the most clever of all.
"Boggis and Bunce and Bean
Once fat , one short , one lean. These horrible crooks
So different in looks
Are none the less equally mean."
This is what the children usually sing about them when they see them.
