Juan Johnnie Avocado Seed

Juan (Johnnie) Avocado Seed By George W. Clever-----15 September 2020 A migrant boy in California His only toys were avocado pits Making castles at the Rancheria In the dust with the pits where he sits Until told of a boy who traveled the borders Planting apple seeds to grow fine orchards Dreamed of a day when he’d be in demand Planting huge avocado seeds across the land For all to share his gift of avocado’s monounsaturated fat He would be Juan Avocado Seed and that was that Giving people Guacamole to spread on chips Sliced garnish on tortillas rice and in their dips Avocado Mac and Cheese or on pizza Chicago Style He would be famous as Juan Avocado Seed mile after mile Unable to leave his Rancheria without a Chevy The bag of Avocado pits was just too heavy Yes, the avocado seed, a Creator’s mistake Its pits too large and heavy he did make
