Ode To Fruit
The Plum
There is no fruit quite like a plum
it's skin so slick and purple
The juice runs thick upon my chin
And drips like maple surple
Bananas, now, are something else
so yellow in a bunch
They're fun to eat I must admit
if only they could crunch
The Avacado
What's green and ugly with one big seed
It must be avacado
If it were only red with seeds
then it would be tomato
