Disappearing Blueberries

I came upon some blueberries
While strolling through a country woods.
So big, so plump and very ripe
And they were growing all around.

I was amazed that no one had
Yet come by here and picked them all.
So, from my pocket I took out
A shopping bag and set about

To pick as many as I could
Before the sun of day went down.
But, when I turned they’d disappeared
And they were no where to be found. 

I could not believe my two eyes
That they were there and now were gone.
But, that was it and my secret
I’ve never told a soul but you.
