Red and ripe? Pick away
Small and green? Let it stay
Lift the leaves and take a peak –
You might find one that looks unique
“This one looks like a Bob-omb!”
“Too much Super Mario,” says Mom
Found a flower? Smells so sweet
Soon it makes more tasty treats
Heavy ones might hang too low –
Over-ripened! Dirty! Gross!
Constant samples – we’ve just begun
Stained clothes? Worth the fun
