Our plum and cherry trees,
Which, last year, failed to give us any fruit,
Are making up for lost time now
And heavy with the harvest to come.
I’m not a baker or a canner,
Though I hope to get the chance
To snack on a plum or two
Before we call the gleaners,
Who come and pick the fruit
For delivery to food banks and schools:
So much better than losing it all
To the hungry deer!
