The Bottle Gourd Rhyme

I am tall, I am slender,
Light Green but not cucumber.
Have a snout, have a tail,
Found in market & even retail.

Packed with Vitamin C, K & Calcium,
I punch my weight in nutrition.
Eat me & get a healthy heart, Bring down cholesterol & fat!

I am 90% water & light,
& can climb up with delight.
Eat me & be wise,
as solid, liquid or otherwise!
