Probably underrated,
Inevitably misunderstood,
Never written about,
Except to grumble,
About its appearance on,
Pizzas with ham,
Pineapple should be,
Loved by,
Everyone.
Fruit Rhyme 9 – Lemon
Lemon like lime,
Tastes just fine.
Lemons are sweet,
But also taste neat.
Lemons can juice,
Or spread loose.
Fruit Rhyme 8 – Durian
There he ran,
The durian,
All spiky and squishy.
***
It stinks,
It stings,
Growing up there in the tree.
***
All green,
And spiny,
Don’t fall on me.
Fruit Rhyme 7 – Lime
I see the Lime light,
That’s not a crime like,
I like the late night,
With a Lime bite.
***
Bitter and sweet,
All citrusy and sharp,
Just like a bad night,
Out in the Lime light.
Fruit Rhyme 6 – Cherry
Cherry rhymes with Sherry,
And also with berry,
But not with carpet.
Cherry is very,
Sweet like a berry,
But not hairy like carpet.
Fruit Rhyme 5 – Tomato
You say it’s not so,
But I know tomato,
Is a fruit not a veg,
So let it be said,
Now give it a rest,
It’s a fruit nothing less.
Fruit Rhyme 4 – Kiwi
So round and green,
Fuzzy and gooey,
Kiwi is all nice and juicy.
***
With a spoon,
Or all at once,
Have one with your lunch.
***
In a smoothy,
Or in one bite,
I think I’ll have one tonight.
