Plant a Tree

Inktober 2020 28

Poem by Tom Lee

 

I’m being very careful

And I don’t venture very far

I’ve done a little shopping

But I’ve not been to a bar

 

I was getting ‘Cabin Fever’

By staying in you see

Then I thought of Mail Order

And I’ve got myself a tree

 

I have ‘help’ with the planting

With the robin, dog and cat

You ask the tree’s variety?

I can help you, sure, with that

 

It’s a plum tree called ‘Victoria’

It’s fruit is red and sweet

But it will take a year or two

Before they’re fit to eat

 

Then I’ll have a lovely harvest

Once that year or two’s gone by

I can eat them fresh, or bottle them

Or cook them in a pie

 

Or I may prefer a crumble….

 

Done
