The Mug Tree

The greengrocer gave
A little seed for free
And from the little seed
Grew a mug tree
It's in a little pot
On the patio
Growing mugs for tea
And coffee, don't you know
Some of them are coloured
And some mugs are plain
And they get full up
When it starts to rain
So plant a little seed
Who knows what you'll see
If you're really lucky
It'll grow a mug tree

A dusty old box, stuck on a shelf, May just be the key to your dreams. In it, is magic, the sole of yourself, You, dear, are not what you seem.
