Array ( [sid] => 146515 [catid] => 1 [aid] => mick [title] => the Thanksgiving Plum [time] => 2008-11-26 20:36:58 [hometext] => A kids poem i wrote about the biggest plum i have ever seen ... hehe ... [bodytext] => There once was a plum
As big as can be
It hung alone on a branch
Of a very small tree

It’s weight bent the tree
Right down the ground
And this is where
The huge plum was found

One day a small girl
Her name Molly Sue
Found the plum
and knew just what to do

She took it straight home
To her father and brother
And it fed them all
Even her mother

When the plum was all gone
They planted the pit
And there grew a tree
Under which you could sit.

Now once every year
On a branch near the top
Grows a pumpkin-size plum
So BIG it should pop.

It ripens completely
‘round Thanksgiving time,
and to get the plum down
the tree dad must climb

He cradles the plum
in a sling made from ropes.
“Get it down safely!”
is what Molly Sue hopes

Friends-family and neighbors
all gather together
They come from all over
no matter the weather

Molly Sue’s family
truly is blessed
Because of a plum pit,
who would have guessed?
