Strolling around

Looking at the amazing plants

Fruit galore

Something to adore

It won't be a bore

Might want to eat a delicious apple right to the core

Then you hear a voice you can't ignore

You gasp in awe

It is Anton apple speaking with you

He doesn't agree with your view

It his him he hopes you won't chew

Moving on you stop and stare

It is Pearl the pear

She says, eat me if you dare

But after you might care

You might have a pain that you will be unable to bare

After greeting Gary the grape

You are not sure if this place is so great

Not sure if you want to put any of this on your plate

This one is definitely not a mate

The taste seems full of hate

Like some dirty paste

Maybe he was just having a whine

Or it wasn't the best time

Might be better if you step on him and turn him into wine

Knowing that in the long run everything will turn out fine

Maybe it is time to escape

Everything is starting to sound fake

Beware of all the exotic fare

Might be better not to care

Anyway must be strange to engage with these trees

Maybe they just like to tease

In reality you can walk around and feel at ease

A place where everywhere you look there will be something that your eyes will please

Let me know if you have ever been to the talking garden
