The Secret Garden

Near the palace, not far away
A little garden is here to stay
It stays here all may
Behind something called a bay.
In the garden, fruits so ripe
You won't get out until you're wiped
Apples, bananas and many more
Are so good you'll need to eat more
Mangoes, oranges and strawberries
Are sitting down like dollies.
In the middle, stands a fruit no one has.
It hasn't been tasted or even touched
But some people say that it is cursed
And will blow your mind and make you blind Other people say, it will give you a fortune
But whatever it does, it will give you a portion.
