Rediscovered Unchanged
Choice apples, red or lilac, I now eat
(A napkin - will you pass?)
While I soak my tired callused feet
And bind imagined damage in new grass
Choice melons, green or ecru, I now thump
(Under new auspice will a rag emerge?)
And while we thrash your unrepentant rump
You'll wish that you were wearing heavy serge
Choice okra, round bright Iimes I may eat yet
(Unless she ever lets eyes slither shut)
So, take red earthen worms to Henriette
Although we all know she's a vegan slut
Choice artichokes ... no, cancel every line
(And make each new day entertain distraction)
And chop them coarse--no, grate them very fine
For increasing new inner satisfaction
