 Apples, but No Pears

Nature gave me an apple tree,

But be pears I really did crave.

Apples okay, but not for me.

So a lot of wood that tree gave

Me, after I had chopped it down.

Using the wood, I then built up

The pear totem god of renown

That would give me lots of pears, yup.

While I built this, a raven was

Near, maybe some pears waiting for.

Then I felt uneasy becuz

It kept on quothing, "Nevermore."

The more I plead, more I despair,

All my effort and not one pear.
