The Green-Pear Tree

[Night Hawk]

There is a pear tree in a friend's backyard
that grows pears little, green and hard
I took one home saying "Mmmm, what a find!"
Soon discovered tough speckled rind

I took said pear home to set on windowsil
Thinking it'd ripen by sun and by will
Waited few days beneath sun's rays
While Divine contemplated powerful ways

A week had gone by and I gave it a nudge
And found poor thing'd turned to mush
Thought I that it would turn yellow
Was looking forward to taste pleasant and mellow

So the moral of this story be
Never pick from a Green-Pear tree
For its fruit it bears brings sadness, dispair
But beware! Pick one if you dare!

Cute Hawky! But don't think I'll eat pears for a while!
