WATERMELON SEEDS
The little girl was amazed at the
size of a watermelon compared
to an apple, an orange and a grape.
After her mom cut it open for
an after dinner treat - the little
girl was amazed at the color red.
She was expecting green inside -
but no, it was a
rich juicy red
and then she saw the seeds.
“Mommy, mommy, if I plant them,
will I get a watermelon?" Her mom,
a city girl, said,
“I have no idea.”
Well, the little girl, took those
watermelon seeds and planted
them - in big rusty red flower pot.
Every day - when she got home
from school - she watered and
inspected the dark brown soil.
The seeds slowly sent roots down
and green stem and leafs up -
but no watermelon ever showed up.
“Mommy?
Why didn’t you tell me about the birds
and the bees? Why didn’t you tell me
how watermelons come to be?"
