My Favorite Plum

My favorite plumhangs so far from meSee how it sleepsand hear how it calls to meSee how the fleshpresses the skin,It must be burstingwith secrets within,I've seen the rest, yesand that is the one for meSee how it shinesit will be so sweetI've been so dryit would make my heart completeSee how it layslanguid and slowNever noticingme here belowI've seen the best, yesand that is the one for meMaybe a girl will take itMaybe a boy will steal itMaybe a shake of the boughwill wake it and make it fallMy favorite plumlies in wait for meI'll be right herelonging endlesslyYou'll say that I'm foolish to trustBut it will be mineand I know that it mustcause I've had the rest, yesand that is the one for meI've seen the best, yesand that is the one for me
