First tree took two years
to fruit. Fruit was big,
yellow and bitter as.
Second tree prolific,
fruit smaller, less bitter
but a seed demon.
Third tree just right.
Juicy, refreshing,
seedfree.
First two trees
hauled out.
A season of bliss.
Then the extension
went up. Total trees
in backyard orchard
reduced to none.
Grapefruits to this day
laugh at me.
