my magic grove has many trees  
of every wondrous type  
a wizened gardener oversees  
and knows which ones are ripe  
one money tree, it grows loose change  
that jingles in the wind  
one poet tree -- that one, most strange  
fruits dingy, and thin skinned  
one tree of life, it speciates  
and gets from here to there  
one ancestree it holds the fates  
I'm its last fruit, the heir  
of all those trees, I love one most  
I call it libratree  
for there I can, at little cost  
read any book I see
