Peach Poems
  • Ode to a peach tree
     
  • Hanging from my favorite tree
    The sweetest peaches known to me,
    Next a bottle of Sam Adams stout
    Attracts feeding wasps into its spout.
    If that doesn't do it the other bottle will
    With its concoction of sugar and dill.

    Strung CDs reflect the light
    Scaring off hungry deer in flight.
    If that doesn't work there's Irish Spring
    Another deterrent, another string.
    Next, dryer sheets, I use Bounce
    To thwart the deer about to pounce.
    Just to be safe, marigolds on the ground
    To keep the deer from hanging 'round.

    How about the birds, let's not forget...
    Throw on heaps of that black net.
  • The best for last, peaches wrapped in peds Hide the fruit from all its dreads.
  • This tree must have come from another planet,
    Oh no, it's just "I AM ORGANIC!"
