In case the bees should fail to please<\/p>\n
I read in\u00a0garden pamphlet<\/p>\n
Could I\u00a0Q-tip or\u00a0tease<\/p>\n
take the place of bees<\/p>\n
in the fertilization process<\/p>\n
Tomato blossoms<\/p>\n
would never fruit<\/p>\n
unless the pollen boys<\/p>\n
could take root<\/p>\n
in receptive female parts<\/p>\n
so janes and joes were introduced<\/p>\n
by means of gentle jiggling<\/p>\n
with a little help<\/p>\n
from this instigator<\/p>\n
distinctly non-winged pollinator<\/p>\n
a wondrous haul we made<\/p>\n
that summer<\/p>\n
no dumber<\/p>\n
beginner’s luck than mine<\/p>\n
Tomatoes galore<\/p>\n
