My Little Tree
I've got a little apple tree
But it's started to get big,
I planted it about three years ago
When it was just a twig.
It's started bearing fruit you know,
Rosy apples by the score,
At the rate that it is growing
I won't need to buy none anymore.
I am going to make some chutney,
My wife a pie or two,
And if there is any left
She might make one for you.
We could relish one with custard
And one with ice-cream to,
It's amazing how a fruit tree
Can have this effect on you.
I know it might sound silly
To write a poem about a tree,
But look at all the pleasure
That it has given me.
