Is like a piece of gum that gets more flavourful

            The more you chew

 

            Its sweetness –

            When it’s sweet –

            Is never saccharine or sugary

            But like ripened apples plucked

 

            The more you chew

            The more you want to chew

            And see and hear and feel and

            Taste within the garden and without

 

            A really good one, though,

            Should have a warning label

 

            DANGER: Poems may suppress the appetite for prose
