variegated Plum Tree

Variegated Plumtree

Once upon an orchard in time
grew a plum tree  not at all plumb
She began to twist fork wind almost
Those around looked at her with disdain with no refrain no
no restraint in looking down upon her as They had grown Plumb and Proud yes True
  Shading her, this small unplumb plumtree, regarding
her without regard to such
Harming from Behaviour
that in the dawn she hid her tears as dew

Why do you not grow straight and true like us plumb plum
trees like we do?
Your growth will surely not
bear fruit as round as plump
as plump plumb plum trees
Exacting not a plump plum price at market but we with no doubt expect that pricing for
Your non plump plumfruit will fall far below
Sir Orchard Farmer's expected Revenue

As seasons came they passed
As new buds sprouted and flowers shouted to the farm
  Opening petals yawned themselves awake  Pronouced
    Arrival in the orchard
Come bees Come birds
come fulfill our fertility that we may bear fruit plump and round yes surely our fruit with stone shall fetch a wondrous market price

What became of variegated plumtree who grew not plumb as she should be  Bees
pollinated her blossoms and
surely fruit did form with stone inside
Her plumfruit forming to
become as other ripening plums as round
        But   then  her  growth
did overtake  making all
other plumb plum trees feel
Irate and Jealous  purple with envy some did split in effort to surpass non plumb plumtree's fruit in roundicity
Yes in Plumpness

Left by Sir Orchard Farmer
to fall to ground the orchard ground their destiny was bound to become nutrient for
future plumb plum tree sprouts

At market there was Grand Commotion as Market doors
drew open  announcing Market Hours
now Commencing

Come 1 Come All

Canvass covers thrown off
Price tags   Signage Registers @ the ready
All plump plum fruit feeling Giddy
What was this?
Variegated Non Plumb Plumfruit not among them
But occupying a Higher Shelf
     Plump Plumfruit
    her Healthy Price a
     Record Premium!
