Winter Holiday Poem #2

     Here's another holiday poem from me. (Hooray! I made it to #2.) These are quick writing exercises, so they're bound to be imperfect. But I hope they're entertaining. (I know I'm having fun!)

I Think I’d Like a Ginkgo
 
I think I’d like a ginkgo tree
at Christmas time this year.
The leaves are good for making tea.
The fruits…can stink, I fear.
 
Perhaps I’ll settle for—a fern!
It isn’t that bizarre.
I’ll snazz it up with tinsel
and I’ll top it with a star.
 
A ficus might do nicely.
After all, it’s evergreen.
It fits the bill precisely
(as it breaks the old routine).
 
No Douglas fir or conifer
of any kind for me!
I surely don’t prefer
to agitate my allergy.
