A poem for the month – May

​

The importance of the apple

​

Shall we feed the cats?

Meow, meow, num num.

​

Shall we feed Marty?

Woof, woof, num num.

​

Shall we feed the chooks?

Pook, pook, num num.

​

Shall we say hello to Louie the lamb?

Baa, baa.

​

All done now?

No – apple.

​

And so our lives take form and structure.

Giving each moment meaning

Establishing the importance of ritual

The relationship between effort and reward

The importance of the apple.
