A mango tree grew and flourished
In the yard around our house
No one knew how it had been nourished
For none had brought it to the house.
Within a few years the tree grew big
Yielding us many a tasty mango
That when ripe were quite tasty and big
Though how, we quite don’t know.
The mango tree attracted a lot of attention
At first did come crows, squirrels and parrots,
The whole place became a peaceful situation
Of bliss; indeed so cool and far out.
Next came the street urchins
Throwing stealthy stones over the wall
It only led to house break-ins
Under pretext of picking the fruit that did fall.
