1. Strawberry Fields Forever.
2. Strawberry Wine.
3. Strawberry Swing.
==============================
A swing, in time, to seize-
Now, in the fields, with the same
in ownership, is the Latino, as to
where, at the turn, of the last century, it
was the Japanese.

The grape crop was ready
for harvest-
And was reined in by
special guests.
For in South Africa, no
one could keep the baboons
away-
Even with electric fencing,
noisemakers, and rubber
snakes, they still came by
the hundreds everyday.
To them the only proper
treat-
Was to eat the grapes that
were sweet.
For if they were sour, they’d
leave them behind-
For the poor grape growers
to scour through and find.
The grape crop was ready
for harvest-
And to rein them in, was
the famously uninvited
guests.
