There Was A Time

(and OH!, such a time)

there was a time when Zucchini

was both a blessing and a curse

we all grew it

and we all knew we all grew it

and yet often joyful given

as often joyful received

whatever form we gave/took it

smiles overlooked both basket sides

hands eager took as hands eager gave

as quickly gone as came

yet any of my age and time will know

the quick devouring of the plate

before green became different green

before others stack beside
