Planting Melons
When I follow my nature I’m rash
too careless to earn a living
this year I tried planting melons
in a garden that was mostly weeds
The plants all shared the rain and dew
but mine ended up in the shade
and once spring work got busy
the time for hoeing was past
the farmers laughed at my useless efforts
from dawn to dusk resulting in nothing
clearly this isn’t my kind of work
I’ll stick with ancient texts instead.
