Bounteous bosom,
In cool dazzling rime,
One posy poem in a ring
Breath freely my dear friend
Read the poem and go waddling
Here, some sweet ziziphus spina christi
From a wild natural tender tree,
For you and some to the kid
Ripe fresh from its mama
You who found first
Ere all the jewel
Ziziphus Jujuba tree:
Australia's where they be.
Why all the fuss?
Well, let’s discuss;
We'll do so amicably!
Somewhat tangentially,
Known as a Jujube tree.
Ziziphus fruit
Sounds pretty cute;
I hope you will agree.
----------
H/T to Jack Ellison's Goofus... wondered what rhymed with 'goofus', and next thing I know, I'm looking at these weird red fruit...
