Tomato Cagerella Transformed Into A Tree

There once was a lonely tomato cage that worked really hard all summer long in the garden supporting numerous tomato plants.  People came to water or pick the ripe red tomatoes every day.  They commented on the abundant harvest of the plant, but no one paid any attention to the tomato cage.  Sometimes a strong hand would push it upright if the fruit's weight or the wind caused it to lean over.  It did all the work without any word of thanks. 

At season's end the plant was plucked out and the cage stored in a corner of the yard.  One day a brilliant woman that couldn't sleep at night, got an idea.  She couldn't afford a small tree to cover with lights to set on her porch, but she did have some out-of-work tomato cages.   Wrapping from top to bottom several strands of lights around the turned-on-its-head cage, she liked the result.   After posting her decorated tomato cage on Pinterest, women the country over copy-cated the idea with their own twist. 

Here is my copy-cat version.  You should see it.
