Life Is Just a Bowl Of
Cherries are the perfect snack
When they are deep dark red.
If you’ve a sweet-tooth craving,
With these fruits it will be fed.
They should be firm when purchased
And, if possible, a’stem.
Just rinse and fill a little bowl
With quite a bunch of them.
Remember to provide a cup
For those annoying pits,
Then pluck them from your mouth
(Unless you’re one of those who spits).
A handful is enough for me
But vigilant remain
‘Cause if you aren’t careful,
Man, that cherry juice does stain!
