“By Their Fruit”


“By Their Fruit”

1/15/12

Some fruit just hang around
Others in hurry on the ground;

Some ripen always on time
Others in some mall’s line;

Frozen in time and often space
Keeping up the next horse race;

Some waiting for the Summer
Some the winter – dumber;

Some never even to bloom
Others taking in the swoon;

By their fruit are they known
No matter how they’ve grown!
