The Minberry |
---|
The ancient peoples of the land of Ch'in
much treasured the buds of evergreen tree
which a fortnight of each year stored in tin
to make a wondrous beverage called white tea
But just offshore, the Beautiful Island
engenders a rare gift - a small berry
picked once a lifetime with amorous hand
that makes men wild and blissfully merry
A "Minberry" it's called and precious few
will ever see or taste it. It must be
eaten by itself, not made in a brew,
nor had as dessert with a cup of tea
What I need to figure now is how to
have my sweet Minberry and eat her too! Copyright © 2011 Erick Calder |
