Poem
Look intently into that apple tree What do you see? Lo and Behold , a swarm of bees Something writhes and slithers, Boomslang!!!!! Wait ,is it even a snake or just a rope? Where have you ever seen a writhing rope? But the winds are coming in quite hard Well ,the rope could have fallen but never mind A lot of rotten apples Are you kidding me ? And I think I have actually spotted a ripe orange Oh my insolent head is playing weird games with me The leaves look luminous The glowing sheen so extravagant But it depends on the side you are looking from Take a couple of steps to the left, It all becomes gloomy and lugubrious again But who cares about the other side? Aren't the riches of the better side enough? Life is too short The agile black cat runs up the tree It must have been attracted by this sweet savour There is no other reason he could have climbed up that quick But aren't cats extremely nimble climbers always ? And wait ,do cats have a similar sense of smell to humans? Are we even drawn to the same things ? Oh silly me ,there is a snake in the tree But wait ,Did i confirm if it is really a snake? It might just be a rope A slithering rope my guy? Must be a very strange rope indeed Well ,whatever the puzzle continues Why am I worried about the cat and the snake anyway? Shouldn't I be focusing on the bigger picture? Surely I deserve a slap on the wrist at least But no ,Is it my problem that my curiosity is out of control? Can I control my mind's rampant wanderings ? The apple tree , seems unbothered by the extravaganza around it For a split second ,I could bet my whole fortune a trickle of rain fell on my head Am I only saying this because I actually don't have even a single dollar? No , I don't want to imagine what you think could have happened It will ruin my drea... Did I just say dream ? Yeah ,you should have told me this was too silly to be real
