Green Bikes, Red Bites

What's cooler and juicier
Than a long-striped rime of green,
Whose internals are fortified with
An explosion of mesmerizing desire?

Or a total circle of green without stripes,
Protectively enclosing the best of eats,                                                                                                                 
Thoroughly permeated by the color of pure red,                                                                                                    
And speckled throughout with seeds of black?
Or if you prefer, no seeds at all to delay your treat.

And what's more tastier my friend, than a softly textured cut                                                                                                                               
Of mouth-watering goodness bite after bite after watery bite?
An oasis of succulence and sweetness to the taste of healthy             Goodness awaits our sense of taste each summer with nothing                     To prep; nothing to waste. A watermelon sweet and cold is Like                     A free-wheeling bicycle ride along the countryside.
