Engaged in silly childhood pretense
Amongst the lush green trees
My vast playground of adolescence

Stumbling across Mother Nature's cash
A wild orchid of sweetness
Where she concealed her secret stash

Sharp prickly thorns obscured the way
Encasing my toothsome desire
Not even this could keep me at bay

Plopping many a plump juicy treat
Savoring each tiny morsel
Stopping when my thirst was replete

Every single day that summer I went
To enjoy the hidden delights
Plainly my guardian angel had sent

I never revealed to mom or anyone
Where I was an hour each day
In the lush green trees beneath the sun

A tasty thicket of nectarous pleasure
Not wanting to give away
The location of my youthful treasure
