fig tree very lovely

fig tree very lovelyFig Tree very lovely

The fig tree in winters Is an eight armed skeleton

beyond help and no doctor nice will help this

because the tree is ugly and shudders when touched.

In the spring, the fig tree has none eloquent leaves never
quite green and

never quite sepia. In the fall, it is the sweetest of all
fought over by man and birds.

When its fruit has is picked it is an unloved tree again

I know of an honourable man they said he had erred

and he lost his wife, villa and swimming pool where his

beloved seals swam and at social gathering he was meanly

ignored and there were sniggers about seals.

His poverty was caused by bad investments that made him poor

and the poverty struck deserves no sympathy.

He felt like a fig tree in the depth of winter, when fall
came he won his money back

and was loved by his friends again

but he kept the fruit of his labour by himself.
