I'd find a kid
the way i found you
hanging from a tree
looking like a mango
all juicy and red through
from a far you were big and round
looking like a pumpkin
ready to be squashed
the closer i get
the plainer you seem
round and full
hanging upside down
from a lace up in the tree
ALAS! ALAS!
out of nowhere
a stone flew by
waap, straight in the side
down came the mango
in a wallop of frenzy
straight in my tummy.
