As you drive down a red dirt road <br />In the autumn of the year <br />You’ll find along the roadways <br />Wild plums so fresh and pure <br /> <br />The tanginess of the fruit <br />Brings a joy to your very senses <br />Your fingers pluck them off the tree <br />As you reach right through the fences <br /> <br />You can eat them on the very spot <br />Make preserves or even jam <br />Just put some in a bowl to serve <br />Along with your Sunday ham <br /> <br />So get out and take a drive today <br />To wherever this fruit abounds <br />Right down a red dirt road in which <br />The wild plums are found!<br /><br />Marilyn Lott<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/wild-sand-plums/
