I Don'T Share
I had a yen for home grown peach
And found but one that I could reach.
I picked and took a bite at once
To taste of its sweet succulence.
Then looking fat and fully fed
An earwig raised his ugly head;
And looking me straight in the eye
Dared me that next sweet bite to try.
I very calmly took his dare,
Next time I looked, he wasn’t there.
No lowly insect takes my peach;
The only one that I could reach.
