99 My 24th Leaf

99.

My 24th Leaf



Plucked thee on way out

Once again same route

It's arboreal

It's fruit national

Leaf from “mango” tree!



CapSU-Main owns thee

Living property

Perhaps long ago

Thin & tall, young though

The tree's juvenile



Third month and sixth day

While out along way

Sir Ralph had just been

Death cart had just seen

Overheard necro



Left-side corridor

Of the school's ground floor

Almost near garage

Of front gate's entrance

Some sort of plant box



Holiday CapSU

Ex. Pres., oh adieu

While funeral mass

Roching Dadivas -

CapSU shall miss you!
