Ode to Gongulationberries
Oh! The gongulationberry tree
Is the luckiest in the land.
Great is the fruit it produces, and
Indigenous are the people that eat it.
There is only the one gongulationberry.
Great big insects can be taken
Off this tree, and thrown at people.
How wonderful it must be, to be the
Only tree that can produce the
Marvellous Gongulationberry,
Every single Day.
