Carried so gently in the house <br />Careful each step <br />Walk softly like a mouse <br />My heart giving one big leap <br /> <br />On the counter I delicately sat it <br />Looking in amazement at its size <br />Ah my pride it will not quit <br />I am telling you the truth, nope not a lie it was a prize <br /> <br />Quick grasp the scale <br />I must weigh it before it is cut! <br />Just as I thought without fail <br />It could feed a family of ten in a hut <br /> <br />Twenty six pounds of juicy succulent delight <br />My watermelon I grew from a lil’ green stem <br />Perfect for the party going on tonight <br />My guest will all be happy, yes all of them<br /><br />Patricia Gale<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/reaping-the-rewards/
