Literally Random Stuff

Ode to Strawberry

A long journey

you have,

transforming from

a bush with

white flowers

and green leaves

to a bush with

fruit as red as

a stop sign.

You're snatched from

your childhood home

to be placed in a

tan, weaved box.

Not too long after

being picked up and

placed with your relatives,

you're drowned in

cold, refreshing

water.

So much time

has passed,

yet you're only

half way through

the journey.

At least you

Aren't your cousin

Becky,

who was

taken by

a bird to have

her seeds be

placed through

another source of

transportation.

Back in the

uncomfortable

basket, you

slowly begin to see

light while

loud banging

sounds can be heard...

CHOP

CHOP

CHOP

It continues

to get louder.

Suddenly, you're

lifted from

the crammed space.

At last,

space to move

and air to breathe.

One problem though.

Opening your eyes,

you see the

white, death table

you were placed on,

covered in a

sweet liquid.

Disgustingly enough,

you've been placed

in your family's

bright red blood.

Since you were

brutally slaughtered

and have made it to

plant heaven,

I'll give you the

scoop of what happened

afterwards.

You see,

the story of your

dismembered body

is quite an

impressive one.

Layed with your

other chopped up

family members

in a very nice bowl.

Your body parts were

*AHEM*

married by

blueberries and

raspberries.

Finally,

the human who has

brought you

so much pain

and agony

covers the

red and blue

berry mixture

in white fluff.

Behold,

what has

brought you

so much pain

and sorrow

gives this human

a BERY satisfied look (yes? no? I'll LEAF now...)

with a big,

toothy grin.

Happiness.

That is why

you exist

good friend.

Us plants were

grown for their

happiness.
