Where The Cherries Get Merry
Come down to the crops
Where the radishes rock.
Where the cabbages
Bop through the night.
Where the cauliflowers stray
As they take to the hay
And the carrots
Advance to their right.
Where the blueberries strip
As they run for a dip
And the mangos
Politely decline...
Where the oranges swoon
By the light of the moon
And the cherries
Get merry on wine!
