Tipper,
Cause corn has ears. …Ken
One time when I was in High School, Mama told me about Loosing her First Child. It was a Girl. She had 6 boys after that, me being the youngest. Mama never mentioned her name, cause she died a couple days later. She would have been around 20 years older than me.
That’s why I call You “The Sister I never had.” ( And a Good One too. ) …Ken
Because the corn has ears
too easy. and I’m not good at riddles.
How can you tell the train went by?

I believe I finally know the answer to one! The corn has ears!! Hope that’s it.
The field has ears
The corn has ears! Of course everything you post on here brings up some long ago memory. There is not much worse than trying to pick beans in corn. You go through that thick maze and come out on the other side covered with corn silk and probably lots of bugs. The great thing is you can have a meal fit for a king in no time flat. Nothing much better than roastineers.
Because there are lots of ears around.
Well, in good years, the corn is all ears!
Because there’s ears everywhere!
Riddle: Tender Ears?
. . . All those ears in the cornfield are listening!
Because it is full of ears!
(And “a little bird will tell the matter,” )
Cause corn has ears!
Because the stalks have ears!
