Strange Fruit

In this story of the strange old fruit,

it wasn't even old, 

but definitely a mute.

"Hello?" called the feather-coat man.

But it couldn't say word or even shake his hand.

It was not an apple, a peach or even a plum.

What did it taste like? Where was it from?

The fruit gave a wiggle, a shake and a nod

And then disappeared with a quickness

that deserved applause.

In this case of the strange little fruit,

well - 

I don't know.

The story is moot.
