We grow more strawberries three times a year here than anyone
Where I live except ........

Strawberry Fields Forever
Lennon/McCartney

Lyrics:
Let me take you down
cause I'm going to strawberry fields
Nothing is real
and nothing to get hung about
Strawberry fields forever

Living is easy with eyes closed
Misunderstanding all you see
It's getting hard to be someone
but it all works out
It doesn't matter much to me

Let me take you down
cause I'm going to strawberry fields
Nothing is real
and nothing to get hung about
Strawberry fields forever

No one I think is in my tree
I mean it must be high or low
That is you can't, you know, tune in
but it's all right
That is I think it's not too bad

Let me take you down
cause I'm going to strawberry fields
Nothing is real
and nothing to get hung about
Strawberry fields forever

Always know sometimes think it's me
But you know I know when it's a dream
I think I know I mean, ah yes
but it's all wrong
that is I think I disagree

Let me take you down
cause I'm going to strawberry fields
Nothing is real
and nothing to get hung about
Strawberry fields forever
Strawberry fields forever
strawberry fields forever

2. the weather is cool here at night
and the strawberries they send out are variety that lasts on the market.
I had those from Denmark, Colorado and Germany.
good ones last 3 days and are not sent to market.
we get those here.

But none have tasted
as bitter or sweet than what Lennon said.

3. Is it true that a strawberry gets its name
from the straw that was spread over the berries to protect them from the frost?

Somebody should spread some straw on the constitution before it freezes.

4. We waste that time
to eat the fruits of freedom.

5. Eloys and moorlocks, indeed
Sweet strawberries are the best, if they're too tart, a little icing sugar
and vanilla, or chopped fresh mint.
