To plant a donut

poem by: Dian Holmes
Written on Dec 22, 2016

Robot is old & Robot's grown up.
In the field of our yield he plants a donut.
As it grows its sugary sweetness will spread.
Into the flowers of bountiful red.
So the flower responds and the flower evolves.
Into something quite new as the sugar dissolves.
Till its not just a flower its something quite more.
A beautiful treat you can eat and adore!
