Pulp

I like my orange juice with pulp
So every time I take a gulp
I swallow strands of fruity flesh,
Pretending that it’s just-squeezed fresh.

When all that pulp is strained away,
It loses some of its cachet.
What Nature’s chosen to produce,
In fruit, should show up in its juice!

Boy, did you wrap this one up nice. Thank you for expressing what I have always thought. But just never proclaimed it quite so eloquently. Peace. :)
