Bats, mice, kids, dromedaries,
woodpeckers, squirrels,
and turtles eat berries.
Moose, foxes, bears, kangaroos,
raccoons and butterflies
eat berries, too.
Rain falls
and sun shines down -
the earth is crumbly
black and divine.
On land and near creeks
where lawn mowers stall
berries grow wild
and spread to feed all.
Strawberries and blackberries
on angel food cake
a heavenly feast
so simple to make.
