The Fruit Salad

Sceptical satsumas with suspicious rumours of fruit bowl disclaimers A mention of cucumber and tomato being part of the starter, leaving melon and grape displeased and irate A discussion re:pips reaches a conclusion, they're not welcome in this fruit salad inclusion Away with tradition and starting a drama forgetting apple, ignoring banana substituted with kiwi replace with mango and guava Squeezed lemon precautions of epic pear portions No brown to be seem under lashing of cream 'This is not just any fruit salad this is a Marks and Spencers fruit salad':-) .... a satirical look at society and predudice using fruit as the subject.. light hearted x

a creative and interesting way to describe our "fruit bowl" here in the US at least. I always like that saying about CAlifornia, "the land of fruits and nuts."
