Ruby Red

A ruby that’s red with fire
Brought about sweet love’s desire
There’s no other that’s higher
Sweet ruby red fire

Russell Sivey

My birthstone for July is a ruby!

From the title, one may initially suspect you were describing grapefruit here. This dodoitsu is a nice way to describe a ruby.
