This is one I found somewhere, Might have been here! Hope it is not one you already have!

The tractor on the farm arose
Before the dawn at four;
It milked the cows and washed the clothes,
And finished every chore.

Then forth it went into the field
Just at the break of day;
It reaped and threshed the golden grain
And hauled it all away.

It plowed the field that afternoon,
And when the job was through,
It hummed a pleasant little tune
And churned the butter, too:

And pumped the water for the stock,
And ground a crib of corn;
And hauled the baby round the block
To still its cries forlorn.

Thus ran the busy hours away,
By many a labor blest;
And yet when fell the twilight gray
The tractor had no rest.

For while the farmer, peaceful-eyed,
Read by the tungsten glow,
The patient tractor stood outside
And ran the dynamo.
