Yonder Stands A Guava Tree by Nobody: 8:53am On Aug 28, 2006
YONDER STANDS A GUAVA TREE
I MUST USE ON A SPREE.
I FIND ALAS NO GUAVA THERE
EXCEPT THIS TALE TO SHARE.

HOW CAN YOU CALL YOURSELF A TREE
WHEN YOU HAVE NO FRUITS FOR ME?
BUT THE TREE TURNS AT ANGLE THREE
AND SHOWS ME WORDS I SEE:

HOW CAN YOU CALL YOURSELF A MAN
IF YOU DO ALL YOU CAN?
NOW WITH LUST YOU PAIN YOUR SOUL
YOU HAVE NO SELF CONTROL?

BUT I DO DEEM THIS MESSAGE ODD
FOR I AM A MAN OF GOD,
HOW CAN I BE THE LORD'S MAN
IF I'M NOT FIRST A MAN?
