Fruit Trees and Togetherness
When the trees bear fruit,
We can all benefit,
Even the unfit,
As backyard fruit,
Becomes the talk of the Street,
As there is more than enough for all to eat.
People who don't normally come out of their shell,
Find they have fruit to give, not sell,
Word gets out, and bags full of fruit to give, not sell,
Find their way out the gate to make more than one new pal.
Can someone tell the developers to leave the fruit trees?
And ask the architects to consider the birds and bees,
When deciding whether to allow some space for some trees,
As we all want to smell some fruit in the breeze,
And have others to tease about the size of the fruit on their trees,
As we stand together to listen to the sound of the birds and bees,
And togetherness is celebrated when the fruit ripens on the trees.
