The Intelligent Peach

Rating: 5.0


has a few of its leaves
go yellow well before fall -
while its fruit ripens, in fact.

Birds passing by think the fruit is a leaf
and leave it to ripen unpecked.
The tactic is The Fruit-Leaf Pact.

Two days later there's a nibbled peach on the ground:
well may The Pact work for birds in the light,
but a rat does its work by night.
