On a “Full Moon” July night, under the trees, I’m crawling on my hands and knees,

I find myself looking at a four-and-a-half-pound monstrosity staring at me,

I will enter it at the County Fair, so the gardeners can see the Biggest Tomato ever grown in the County

I know it will win the “Blue Ribbon”

With just one glance, you will fall into a trance

Its enormous size will not make you believe your eyes

For you have just seen the largest tomato that man can grow

The Herculean, glorious ONE TON TOMATO!
