Coconuts

Your hairy brown exterior
Belies the sweet interior

A gift to humans culinary
Or cocktail quite extraordinary

Your oil it smooths, caresses
A babies bum it blesses

Your cream is heaven slurry
As I add it to my curry

In short you're what we all need
Though your stature for a plant seed

Might be intimidating
I'll still give you 'A' star rating

I am surrounded by these coconuts, but for some reason i had an idea to write a funny one, you know sometimes people around me too go coconuts haha. But of well that babies line is clever and creative and also youve mentioned very useful aspects of coconuts in such an effortless manner! That ending is fun! A rating hah! You always have a very unique way of writing! Another excellent poem! Enjoyed reading this!

You are surrounded by coconuts! True! I hear they can be dangerous if they fall on you from such a height.. glad you enjoyed it Ink, it was a playful bit of fun to write too. Even in coconut-less Manchester :) Stay safe.

Hiya - thank you! I have a love-hate relationship with coconut; loving the taste but sometimes allergic. Captivating is a generous word for such a simple effort.. but I'll try not to be shy in graciously accepting. You are very kind x thanks :))
