berries bloom but three weeks a year
rest of the time, 49 weeks,
by my count
nothing but a nuisance
most the time
sure, everybody loves the sweet nectar
nectar from the gods
But
Is it worth it?
Don’t ask the eaters, the pickers, the bakers, or the tourists
What do they know?
ask the goats
they eat up vines of nuisance
‘spect they like 'em more 'an we like the berries
I’m just sayin’
