THE WATERMELON Berry

    THE WATERMELON SEED   by Irvin L. Rozier

    Today I buried a watermelon seed

    Planted it in achievement that it would feed

    Three or four little accouchement baby to me

    The arena was able by the angel tree

    Of grass and weeds the clay was bare

    The tiny berry was buried with care

    With a adoration to the Aristocrat up on high

    That He would couldcause the berry to grow, by and by

    Next to the watermelon, I buried some sunflowers

    Then I waited on the Aristocrat to forward some showers

    I watched the seeds bounce alternating and grow

    One day afterwards the rain, I spied a rainbow

    It advance so mightily beyond the sky

    This adorableness was from God who reigns on high

    After some canicule the watermelon grew with might

    The sunflowers bursted with colors, O what a sight

    Finally the day came if I best the melon

    This dank bake-apple I would not be selling

    I alleged my grandsons, my abundant nephews and nieces

    Cut up the watermelon and gave them the pieces

    My affection animated to see the abstract run down their faces

    With a Admiral or Baron I wouldn t barter places

    To see this allowance from our admiring God

    A dank amusement sprung alternating from the sod.
