Reaping The Rewards

Carried so gently in the house Careful each step Walk softly like a mouse My heart giving one big leap On the counter I delicately sat it Looking in amazement at its size Ah my pride it will not quit I am telling you the truth, nope not a lie it was a prize Quick grasp the scale I must weigh it before it is cut! Just as I thought without fail It could feed a family of ten in a hut Twenty six pounds of juicy succulent delight My watermelon I grew from a lil’ green stem Perfect for the party going on tonight My guest will all be happy, yes all of them
