Coconut Is Proud

Coconut is proud,
Of her properties and prospects, 
Though beaten and defamed
By Palm and Sunflowers often. 
Cholesterol is controlled,
Blood pressure high is curbed,
Skin is toned and moistened,
Hair is finely fortified from roots.
Dishes are made delicious,
Frying done healthy and tasty
Are a few of many a benefits 
The mindful mass concerns much.
Milk, ‘water’, ‘flesh’ and husk,
Leaves, stem and compound roots 
Are of uses and values great;
Another nature’s gift on man.
Cure and care to cancer too,
To balance endocrine in tunes, 
Health to Oral, Liver and Heart,
All is known and proven facts.
Myths about  origin and traverse
Are varied, but all do approve
Her heritage since ages;
One of the blest on man’s domain.
