Devoid
Devoid
I really think one should avoid
A peach with flavor so devoid
It might be meant to feed a droid
But as for me – I’m quite annoyed!
The picker who was so employed
To pluck would not be overjoyed
To find the fruit he once enjoyed
Was now considered null and void.
So sad when something is destroyed
By greed and scientists who toyed
With perfect peaches. Even Freud
Would find himself quite paranoid.
For who could have his spirits buoyed
When peaches taste like celluloid?
They look just like a Polaroid
But as for flavor – they’re devoid!
