Dear Peppermint, <br />Thou hast choked on the sun. <br />Bewildered the water, wondered <br />At the earth, food you despise <br />Death you do not ignore, how <br />Can you be helped? With a trace <br />of another mint. Oblivion? I <br />Send you my cheeriest wishes <br />that you may choke on yourself! <br /> <br />Your fertilizer<br /><br />Michael Witkowski<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/epistle-to-the-mint/
