Fruity Ride

FRUITY  RIDE


         When I was nine years old
         My Grandma taught me Mathematics.
         She had cut two pieces of watermelon 
              in shape of equal circular discs
               and convinced me the tricks
                 of conversion of circular motion
                    into linear and made me clear.

                Circular melon pieces resembled
                 wheels to be assembled 
                    to make a bi-cycle!
                  As the wheels to swirl and whirl
                  bi-cycle to run on straight path
                          in joy and mirth.

        So, I started to complete the construction
              in fruity zone.
         I cut smaller portion of circular pieces of pine-apple
          to use as wheels of chain
             attached to two paddles 
             made from rectangular pieces of apple.
          A piece was cut off from pear in shape of seat.
                Chain of cycle I made with a garland 
                  of series of strawberries.
             Sugar cane sticks were used to form the rods.

        So! Pulpy juicy delicious ! Bi-cycle! Marvellous!
              offering  fantasy ride for any Fruity Fairy.
