New book title: A tomato grows in Kyle

Ode To Tomatoes by Pablo Neruda
The street
filled with tomatoes,
midday,
summer,
light is
halved
like
a
tomato,
its juice
runs
through the streets.
In December,
unabated,
the tomato
invades
the kitchen,
it enters at lunchtime,
takes
its ease
on countertops,
among glasses,
butter dishes,
blue saltcellars.
It sheds
its own light,
benign majesty.
Unfortunately, we must
murder it:
the knife
sinks
into living flesh,
red
viscera
a cool
sun,
profound,
inexhaustible,
populates the salads
of Chile,
happily, it is wed
to the clear onion,
and to celebrate the union
we
pour
oil,
essential
child of the olive,
onto its halved hemispheres,
pepper
adds
its fragrance,
salt, its magnetism;
it is the wedding
of the day,
parsley
hoists
its flag,
potatoes
bubble vigorously,
the aroma
of the roast
knocks
at the door,
it's time!
come on!
and, on
the table, at the midpoint
of summer,
the tomato,
star of earth, recurrent
and fertile
star,
displays
its convolutions,
its canals,
its remarkable amplitude
and abundance,
no pit,
no husk,
no leaves or thorns,
the tomato offers
its gift
of fiery color
and cool completeness.

Someone place the "WAR DAMN TOMATO" T-shirt order. I'm in for 2.

The tomato plant has been there since early June. My 8-yr-old daughter attended Camp Adventure last month. When their group was on their way up to rappel off the side of the stadium, she described seeing a tomato plant growing out of the steps. I wasn't sure if I believed her. During the end-of-camp awards, they showed the picture of it. Here's the link to the camp's website with the slideshow. The tomato plant pic is towards the end.

So you're saying I have to download a 90+ MB PowerPoint Presentation to see a single picture? Who built this masterpiece of a website?

Have they started designing the bronze statue of the tomato that will be placed next to E. King Gill?

I downloaded the powerpoint to discover it wasn't a picture of the young tomato, but the original image.

Since June? And we're just now hearing about it?!

Nope. It's the same picture as the OP, no need to download it. Linked to show where the picture originated.

there is a Maya Angelou poem in here somewhere

Yes, and she had a blast! I watched one group rappel and it's a VERY controlled descent.

On it making some shirts. Shoot me your ideas. About to come up with a preliminary design in a couple minutes.

Let's just hope fish camp respects the tomato.





































OMGWTF!!!!!!

In addition to War Damn Tomato you should make a shirt with a drawing of the plant in this condition with the words
