Nectar

I first started climbing on trees
This was long before I injured both knees
In our backyard was an apple and cherry
When the fruit was ripe I would be just merry

I would climb up the tree then jump to the rooftop
No need to bring my favorite lollipop
Eating cherries without swallowing the pit
I hung out up here to avoid getting hit

As a kid I loved being on the roof
This explains why I am sometimes aloof
Lying on my back, gazing at the sky
Just basking, always asking and wondering why
