Bananas, Mangoes, Dragon Fruit

Each and every day it's such a thrill to include
all the home grown organic produce, such a large percentage of our daily intake of food

Fruit that that does not fit with ease within a rhyming verse
no matter, it's the delicacy  of the flavour on the taste buds as they burst

Some of these fruits include, black, yellow and green sapote
gotta eat them on their own, not in a fruit  compote

Some fruits are flowering now, in the future we shall yield
native atherton raspberry, papaya and soursop
The aroma of their blossom spreading through the field

There's mangoes, bananas and dragon fruit, all part of the enterprise
but there's predators like fruit bats and noisy cockatoos, who like the fruit as much as us
From those attracted to the fruit, we must find some form of disguise

Other varieties in the orchard, rollinias, bullocks heart and peanut butter fruit
One day they will provide some tucker, part of the culinary pursuit
