This situation (the one Joe fears) is also depicted in a children's song called "Fod" (a nonsense word injected into every chorus, loudly, by the children in the audience).
"I went down to the mowing field Too-rah too-rah, foladiddle dido! I went down to the mowing field, FOD!!!!!!!!!!!! I went down to the mowing field When an ugly sarpent bit mah heel Too-rah-die-ay!
Just put them high boots on, Joe, and use a noisy riding mower or tractor, and you'll be okay!!
