Fruitless
A poem in response to "This is just to say" by William Carlos Williams...
That you found the ice box bare
I haven't bothered to replace them
And there's not one left to spare
The bananas, the grapes
The pears, the peaches too
The oranges and kiwis are consumed
There's simply nothing left for you
The cherries were ripe
The nectarines a joy to behold
The melon and lemon a pleasure, I say
And the apricots delicious and gold
I'm full and feeling fine
So the only option for you, my dear
Is to eat t' chocolate and call me a swine

Thanks. What would life be, without fruit, chickens and whimsy?!
