Mango Man

for my good friend Akkina, When he eats mangoes he can tango He eats a lot his belly is like a pot Sometimes he swallows the stone His belly rumbles and groans So juicy so fruity he forgot The mango man will eat from a can Given the choice he picks nice and ripe Numerous species from tropical trees Addictive taste nothing goes to waste

"Sometimes he swallows the stone" That line alone is quite interesting to me...very pleasant work here Niall. I've enjoyed reading. I believe it is a mango you hold in your hand, and that's what caught my attention looking down your list of poetry. I love mangos, they're so delicious!

Jan, make sure that it's very ripe. It's easy to peel that way and perfectly juicy and sweet :)
