Seeds To Feed Or To Spread
Seeds to Feed or to Spread
Received a packet of China seeds in mailbox.
On packet printed the picture of a yawning fox.
Fox must consume these mysterious seeds.
Which types of fox:May be high- breed?
Going to jungle why to feed wild animal?
It seemed to me so weird and unusual.
Since January, I have developed apathy for China
rather hatred for world- wide suffering from Corona
Then it flashed in mind, China has ugly food habit.
Frog, lizard, snake, rat, bat, even pangolin they insist.
They may encourage to tame fox for flesh to cook
Anyway, I spread seeds on garden at remote nook.
Wild weeds came up yielding blooms on days of Easter
resembling mouth of yawning fox in silvery cluster.
