Why Not Plant A Cherry Tree?
A question I ask to all who consume fruit but don't try to grow their own from it
Today I was given a very gracious chance,
One that struck me harder than a lance.
A neighbors cherry tree had just born fruit,
Shining like jewels they all were a beaut.
My neighbor said I could have all that I could carry,
This made my heart sing and feel all the more merry.
I soon filled a bowl and brought in back home,
My mouth soon watering and bubbling like foam.
Quickly I began to eat my beautiful spoils,
Making sure that it doesn't go rotten as it toils.
I spat all the seeds out in a cup in my hand,
Soon realization hit me with a scheme so grand.
People toss their seeds all the time,
Wouldn't growing your own tree be certainly sublime?
So the next time you eat a fruit of any little kind,
Whether it be spiny, pitted, or surrounded by a rind.
Ask yourself this question: why not grow that too?
