You hold a key,
You have the making of a whole new tree.

Although I don't really like poetry - I do have more memorized than I realized.
The only plum poem I know is the WCW poem:
This is Just to Say
I have eaten the plums
that were
in the icebox.
and which
you were probably
saving
for breakfast
Forgive me
they were delicious
so sweet
and so cold
The only reason I memorized this poem was that the prof I took poetry from got so worked up about it being such a sensual poem and I thought I could use it to woo my person who did like poetry. Alas - my delivery was such that she almost hurt herself laughing at me. It worked but not in the way I expected.
