An old banana squash once said,
“Come
let's plant a cherry tree, We’ll
use a spade, make wide its hollow bed Where
we plant the cherry tree.
We’ll cover over the roots with earth.
The lovely work of nature will bring Birds to sing in its greening leaves, Sing a song for a cherry tree.
We’ll plant the tree on the edge of town
On a height where a stream omes
tumbling down, where
Bluebirds
sing and play.
Where rain is coaxed from flying clouds Till
everything is clean and fresh. Where any squash from all around Will
see a cherry tree wake up.
It will throw the winter aside, then
Stretch for a climb to the sky, Come, sing a song for a cherry tree
Any day will do.”
