If a Perfect Fruit There Be

~ 'Limerick-Style Rhyme' ~


if a perfect food there be, it is fruit
a flavor for every taste bud it does suit 
   from the sweetness of cherry and plum
   to peach and apricot nectar for rum 
fruit's nutritious, a non-caloric dessert, to boot

So true. I love fruit... all of them - some more than others but haven't found one I don't love. Wonderful write. God bless you with love and prayers

Hi Gershon, You have composed a good write. Nice rhymes as well. You put me in the mood for some fruit. Is this for a contest? If so, best wishes in the contest. Have a good evening:-) Alexis

The contest was, I believe, to put a certain 'Alexis Y.' in the mood for some fruit. Did I win?! lol. Thank you so much, Alexis. :) gw
