Cranberries For Sale!

Thickly populated, not with society Instead this uniquely lavish fruit A trailing path of intertwining vines Your taste buds soon to root Deep scarlet red are the berries With a cream-white inner core Tiny seeds of brown amidst This delicious treat of more Perhaps a faint taste of bitter As the berry first enters your lips Next an irresistible taste experience More berries you then do grip September marks the season When farmers harvest this tasty crop Bogs are filled with vibrant colors of red Ripened berries abundantly in stock Semi-trailers start rolling in As the harvesters begin to coral Months of growth in the waiting The money to be earned is their moral Knee deep in cold frigid water The wind chills against their face Crewman exhausted pushing forward Maintaining their steady worn out pace Barrels upon barrels keep stacking up Semi-trailers haul towards the destination spot Shipping them to the desired location Plenty of cranberries here to be bought © Stacy Lynn Stiles
