In Weatherford Texas
there is a teacher
In Weatherford Texas
she is not a preacher
.. but she lives
Genesis 1: 29
donating all she
makes
.. like the merciful
rain and the all giving
sun
she asks nothing in return..
this world's largest pecan tree
May Texas follow her
away from slaughter
and foster as trees
her pecan daughters

Dr Faust former chief of the USDA fruit labs
has said
that (while meat yields 100 lbs. an acre in W Texas
and 1000 maximum) centenarian apple trees drop
2 tons each of food (400 to 500,000 lbs an acre not
including tri level agriculture in which vines are planted
around tree trunks and other plants seeded in among
the trees)
Nutbutters, Nut breads, Nut creams.. better than soy icecream
.. as they reforest the world, create rain for Texas,
provide habitat for wildlife
