Cantelopes Can't Elope

I've heard that cantaloupes can't elope It's against their moral code And rhubarbs are NOT allowed to argue Lettuce entertain you I've heard that people sometimes turnip and pea Not a very classy bunch I must say! When you give somebody a raspberry it's very rude Had another good one but it got squashed Gourd won't let me make fun of his name Grapes are not allowed to gripe Bet you're not wild about figs... that figures If you take a leek in a supermarket Security will beet you on the melon When the cashier picks up your fruit It's okay to say, “that's a nice pear you have there” If you give a horse a radish, they'll spit it back at you I don't see what they've got to grape about Okay that one was kinda corny Cauliflowers are pretty in the spring ...beets me

This is so clever! A brilliant play on words. A very healthy helping :-D ...I heard a song the other day called "Delaware" and it goes through the states of america with a similar play on words. :D

delightful wordplay, dear Jack. This poem was a joy to read. You're most clever...especially how you took the wordplay (grape for gripe) and used it in the last few lines. Brilliantly done. Have a splendid day! hugs, Sara
