Flowers on a lamppost, dying in the sun
A seed
A son
He grows
He flowersÂ
He blossoms
He bears his fruit
"See ya mum, dad! I'm off out for a drive!"
"No drinking flower!"
"Nah, just fruit juice!"
The fruit has fallenÂ
It has ripened
It has over ripened
It has brewed and stewed as it matured
His fruit is strong
It's confidence intoxicating
"Last one mate!"
"Sneaky 3 and drive"
"Get em in then!"
More fruit
The tree, beautiful, flowers everywhere
Bountiful fruit
But the fruit is un ripened not ready to fall
Don't shake the tree
Crash
The tree shakes
The fruit falls
The petals fall from the flower
No more fruit now, it is rotting
Just flowers on a lamp post dying in the sun
Bearing a note saying
"We will always love you flower,
Sleep well,
Mum and Dad"
