Edible Music

EDIBLE MUSIC The garlics are on grand piano in the corner, Playing alone because of their halitosis. After making each other’s mouth water, Clever lemons blowing their trumpets by osmosis. Onions on sad violins making each other cry. Mushrooms working in the dark but giving it a try. Near the open window, beans - small but cute : Those classic wind instruments , the musical fruit. Latin rumba from Caracas with coconut maracas. French grapes can-can in chorus; Smiling bananas can’t-can’t, but just enjoy the scene. Tangos with an Argentine tangerine. Mangos mounting melodies on drums in Afrikaans Peas piping on piccolos for an Italian folk dance Rushing polka dots in a Russian borsch whirl. Oyster shell castanets for a Spanish flamenco girl. Asparagus dessed in ballet shoes always on tips, And of course as always, Rose shaking her hips. All rhythmic foot-tapping fruit Forever looking for a new recruit.
