Grapefruit

My girl friend wake up this morning I bring her breakfast in bed to eat But she said she is going to be right back She has to go and brushes her teeth When she comes back she jumps in bed Looking beautiful and so cute I made her scramble eggs, and toast bread Coffee and a half of pink grapefruit She really likes lemons and grape fruits She is a kind of spicy loving girl But omg she is so amazing Sweeter than all the sugar in the world And every day I will keep trying To find ways to make her happy So while she having her grapefruit I will tell her a little about its history The story of the grapefruit origins With the sweet orange from Jamaica And a citrus fruit name pomelo That was brought from Indonesia By a man name “captain shaddock” Brought the pomelo seed to Barbados And both fruits we hybrid together And it results in the grapefruits that we knows First they call it the forbidden fruit Grapefruit was first documented in 1750 Its one of the “seven wonders of Barbados In the Barbados national history In 1929 the discovery of a red grapefruit Growing on a pink variety Then they use radiation to trigger mutations For new varieties that fade to pink typically Ruby red become a symbolic fruit of Texas And the white “inferior” grapefruits was eliminated And only red grapefruit was grown for decades Like the one she has on her plate I going on the bed and snuggle next to her That’s enough about the grapefruit history She smile and thank me for the story Then she plant one big sweet kiss on me And every time my girlfriend kisses me I do blush like a big baby But not a big cute baby Because I’m really kind of ugly But still she my girlfriend love me So I am the luckiest man in the world And when ever it start snowing I do hug her up when I feeling cold For lunch will cook stew chicken and red bean With potato salad and fried rice And make her some grape fruit juice In a tall glass with ice
