Linda Alice Fowler Poet Rhyme

Pick a Pear

I went to the orchard to pick a pear.
I picked another so I’d have a pair.
But now their skins I’d have to pare.

One was all I had gone there for
but soon I had a basket with four.
For room, I moved them to the fore.

It got late and I had quite the load.
The hens roosted and the cattle lowed.
As I was leaving, I hit the Mother lode!

Well, now I had enough pears to sell.
Maybe I could even have a pear sale
or send them overseas by para sail.

Okay, I’m finished with my tall tale.
Oh, and about your day, please do tell!
I’m outta here – I’m draggin’ my tail.
