Coconut

COCONUT
By: Eager Beaver Away


O, Coconut
My ever loving coconut
You are my plasma
You are my life

Coconut you are the cash crop
Your flower clusters grow between
The leaf in canoe-ship shaped sheaths
You radiantly glow and bloomed into coconuts

After glorious eight years
Your tree has produced fifty nuts
Fifty nuts every year
Just from barely one tree
That's awesomely amazing

Bowls are made
From your coconut shells
Jewelries, cocomilk and cream
For viand, cake, pastry and pie
Sap is made into vinegar
Sugar and tuba wine

You are the tree
That provides mat, rope and hat
Basket, roof, and hut
Copra, oil, cosmetic and candies

You're the best feed for cattles
Because of your vitamins
It is from your coco products
Soap, candles and ink are made


You are the best
You're the greatest
My coconut
The tree of life.
