WHY DID YOU CHOP DOWN OUR CHERRY TREE?
Ripe red cherries used to hang
from our tree every summer.
You explained—too much
of a good thing can be wonderful—
but also has a downside.
Remember when we gouged
on an entire watermelon
on a hot July afternoon
and never wanted to taste
watermelon ever again?
Do you mean to tell me
everything in moderation
is the key to right living?
Never thought of that before.
