The Flavor of Life

There are times when the sun doesn't shine, like an orange not juicy nor sweet. If the fruit of the sky doesn't open its eye then the flavor of life will deplete. What a horrible season--the rain-- as if onions made cumuli cry! Who has need of a spice that can yield nothing nice for the people beneath such a sky? Though I know today's fruit will be sweet, for this orange I have, newly born, is delicious and lush like a ripe apple's blush-- see the sun on the bough of the morn?
