Best Avocado Poems
Avocado - a true story
It’s green
Not Martian
Avocado fell from high
Perhaps the sky
Or margins thereabouts
More exact
A tree or branch released it down
And found my wife
Nearly took her life
Her eye was hit directly
With bump…. then lump
Untold un-pleasantries of course were hers
She did not cry
But made a side dish of revenge
With proper justice served
Guacamole anyone?!

All of the fats are bad
Advocates of health said
Avoid them at all times
Axe down butter and cream
And then they found this fruit
Abound with fat that’s good
Adds cream to my dry food

Verse
Our house was built in 'sixty-eight,
a long bi-level, brick, and white.
A retro queen I was those days,
and avocado made it right.
The kitchen was my favored place –
appliances in "sixties" green;
refrigerator, matching stove,
completed well that retro scene.
For many years they lasted well -
and replaced once; the find was tough!
But later on, my luck ran out –
no avocado kitchen stuff.
The second fridge broke down one day;
a new one had to come real fast.
A plain old white one took its place,
and I was left distressed, aghast!
My retro strove looked lonely, sad
without its avocado mate;
Its matching fridge, now she was gone –
he knew this soon would be his fate.
Oh, how I miss those retro days!
Appliance colors were such fun!
That avocado cherished green
refridge and stove, compared to none!
Now stainless, white, is where it's at –
appliances, their brilliance lack.
Perhaps the pendulum will swing –
bring retro avocado back!

I'm cool, refreshing and I'm green
My lizardlike skin keeps my heart unseen
You can cut me in half
Or mix up my guts-
Spread me around, it does'nt matter that much-
Cuz I'm cool, refreshing and green;
And you love me!

Light Verse
If an avocado had a voice, he'd say, "eat me, I'm an excellent food choice".
If an avocado went to war, his uniform would be green, that's for sure.
If an avocado made a speech from a podium, he would share with his audience that he's low on sodium. If an avocado went to court and took a plea, he'd surly admit to being cholesterol free. If an avocado was wealthy, he'd pronounce that he was so heart healthy. Eating avocados is a win win. There only eighty calories with twenty vitamins.

Light Verse
Painted on a plaque above the doorway
Reads Mr. and Mrs. darcy come on in
There’s a red rose in a glass case on a mantle
And a chair right next to him where no one sits
And everything is just the way she left it
Like a perfect 1960’s movies set
And avocado green it was never quite his thing
But now it’s all of her that he has left
Cause he cant let go
He wont let her leave
Like to go
still stuck here in between
And sometimes it gets hard to tell
Which one of them is gone
He’s been dead so long now it seems
He’s still alive in that avocado green
There’s a sign on the door at the end of the hallway
Reads kacey’s room only kids allowed
And daddy keeps it clean
And avocado green
Sits in there and he cries when he’s alone
Cause he cant let go
He wont let her leave
Like to go
still stuck here in-between
and sometimes it gets hard to tell
which one of them is gone
he’s been dead forever
and now it seems
she’s still alive in that avocado green
In the blink of an eye forty years goes by
And they both still haunt these colored walls
Everyone feel pain
But no ones grieves the same
He cant let go
he wont let her leave
like to go
still Stuck here in-between
And sometimes it gets hard to tell
which one of them is gone
He’s been dead forever
and now it seems
She still alive in that avocado green
There both alive in that avocado green

Avocados are the latest craze right now
Is it marketing or taste that makes us go wow
Wanting to chow down
In tune with the town
But from this day forward my taste buds say ciao

Now an avocado
Is more precious than
An apple
But not in the childhood days
We knew only an apple
The first English word we learnt
The first picture we drew
The fruit mum used to pray to her god
The fruit she handed to us
After worshipping for 15 days
We only learnt that
An apple is soft
But not brittle
An apple has a flat smell
But not a fragrant smell
Now I have an avocado
I won't ask for more
But I won't ever forget
The hand
which handed me
A red apple

Love That Avocado Green!
Our house was built in 'sixty-eight...bi-level, brick and white.
This was the modern age, and avocado made it bright!
I loved my new appliances in shiny sixties green...
refrigerator, matching stove, fulfilled the new-age scene.
They lasted many years, replaced just once...the find was tough.
But come mid-nineties, luck ran out...no avocado stuff!
Refrigerator died one day...a new one needed fast.
A plain old white one took its place, and I was left aghast!
My faithful stove looked sad without his avocado mate;
His lady fridge was gone, and soon he followed her bad fate!
Oh, how I miss those special days when colors were such fun!
Now Avocado green's Retro...it's modern era's done.
Pure white or stainless...choice today is dull...great colors lack.
If pendulum should swing again..bring avocado back!

I am mother goddess warrior
protector of the sacred Nisqually water
and the people of this land
I am native crow
I am also avocado
nice to eat and soft
soft to my seed and thick skinned
or is it thin? I don't know
all the time I
shed my skin
feel sweet and feed something
and then regrow
I am an avocado crow

Juan (Johnnie) Avocado Seed
By George W. Clever-----15 September 2020
A migrant boy in California
His only toys were avocado pits
Making castles at the Rancheria
In the dust with the pits where he sits
Until told of a boy who traveled the borders
Planting apple seeds to grow fine orchards
Dreamed of a day when he’d be in demand
Planting huge avocado seeds across the land
For all to share his gift of avocado’s monounsaturated fat
He would be Juan Avocado Seed and that was that
Giving people Guacamole to spread on chips
Sliced garnish on tortillas rice and in their dips
Avocado Mac and Cheese or on pizza Chicago Style
He would be famous as Juan Avocado Seed mile after mile
Unable to leave his Rancheria without a Chevy
The bag of Avocado pits was just too heavy
Yes, the avocado seed, a Creator’s mistake
Its pits too large and heavy he did make

that was a rough day
with their aggressive cars
heavy sky of electrical threats
I came back scared from these thorny streets
I need friendly things
through the crack in the window
I saw the static grandeur
of the avocado tree that reigns quietly near here
he watches indifferently as the days crumble
occasionally throws up leaves in the wind
and soon returns to rule the world
like a divine and green organic colossus
always blind I didn't realize
but today I know
it's the trees that matter
and we are vassals viruses protozoa bacteria
minuscule small nulls so don't be amazed:
we're here to feed the trees and nothing else
stop hysteria

Sipping champagne from the hollow
of an avocado, on a cactus-lined
boulevard in St. Looie
While munching on anchovies
slathered with salsa, the nerve
of them calling us screwy
On the dashboard piled high
were half-empty cruises of gin ...
By the time we crashed the car
into a passing trolley car ~
I swear I saw Busch Brewery spin
