Apricot

The way to eat an apricot
Most do it without little thought
But when I ate apricots today
I had so much more to say

It's unique orange has a glow
Makes your eyes twinkle like snow
I guess what I'm trying to explain
Is that when you're eating don't be a pain

Give everything a little thought
When it matters or even not
You have to think from all points
Connect the ends make them joints

You have to know what your in for
Take your time in life's every tour
I walked into the pantry today and sought
Life's little path called apricot

I agree, makes me hungry and inverted-wood pyramids float in my mouth jojojojojo I liked this, I mean, not too many persons take time to look at something so simple and common as a fruit and make a whole deal out of it; you know how to make life fresh; thanks for the experience, yei!!!=D
