Perfect Tomato

And it was such a perfect tomato
Two days ago when I intended to eat it.
Home Choice (Trademark) Greenhouse Grown
PLU # 4799 Price 229
Highly prized in my index of salad flavors.

However the galactic powers had other plans
And it sat, unmoving for forty-eight hours.
Now upon my returning, after close inspection,
I understand the tomato has dynamic existence
And mourn the passing of ripe fruit.
