Fruitfall (a.k.a Fruit F'all)
They covered the ground,
Which was more orange than green
Dewy grass wet my feet
The wind blew again
And no matter how many I pick up
There always seems like so many on the ground
Is the neighbour watching?
Don’t catch her eye, or else she may wave and come out
Pick up the oranges
And check for holes and slugs,
Fungi and bugs.
But still so many remain fallen down
The Foodtown plastic bag is near full,
It might very well break
Throw the little ones back
And feed the tree and birds
I have too many to eat
Does anyone want any?
Honestly! I have lots, come and get them

Is that why you leave them outside your door?
Yes, actually both doors to the house have bags of oranges. So many oranges and only two mouths in the house. Hence the offer to all~ :-)
