Avocados

The first time that I tasted one Was in the Promised Land. One bite and my horizons Very quickly did expand. I ate them smeared on crusty bread With just a little salt And when I’d gained a dozen pounds, I knew what was at fault. And yet I kept on eating them, With chips, as guacamole, Well on my way to turning into Someone roly-poly. As years went by, I lost that weight And now don’t stuff my face, But avocados still retain A flavor I embrace. If you have never tried one, You’ll be filled with sweet surprise, But be careful or when shopping, You’ll go up at least one size!
