Who Gives a Fig?
Some people say that they don’t a give a fig
Which we would never hear from a happy fig tree -
The one at the bottom of the garden gives its fruit
As a blessing to every passing animal
Squirrels and rabbits, sparrows and mockingbirds
Share in this sugary summer delight
I speed by on my riding lawnmower
And take a fig myself, only to give it away
Some people say that they don’t a give a fig
But I think we need more figs in our lives
(As Amanda Holmes did not exactly say)
