Fruitful Wheels

Watermelon wheels circle round and round,
                    thump, thump, thumping, on bumpy ground.
                        The pits sparkle, as they spin and whirl,
                         and juicy pink flesh, flashes and twirls;
                           the treads of its rind, striped green,
                          a watermelon bike, a fruitful machine.

Wonderful way to see the watermelon come to pieces. Pity we can't eat them.
