Delectable
Apples delicious
Bananas divine
Cantaloupes luscious
Dates dried so sublime
Elderberry? Say what?
Fig jam is so yummy
Grapes eaten till glut
Honeydew smacks funny
In a domesticated way
Jack fruit green or yellow
Kiwi so funny to say
Lemons lead, limes follow
Mangoes a romantic delight
Nectarines tart and juicy
Oranges a bad cold will fight
Peaches firm and sexy
Quince way too complex to eat
Raspberries rule
Strawberries with chocolate so sweet
Tangerine’s cool
Unless, of course, they’re sour
Verdant messy, so refreshing
Watermelon drips with power
Xenophobes exotic fruits shun
Yams too foreign, sweet potatoes instead
Zealous fruitarian this day has won

Dearest, Blue, Send me an orange section ☀️🍊 I am so pleased that you enjoyed this piece and especially that you find it funny. I was not going to post it, vacillating on whether it's too silly. Yeah I am clueless in regard Quinces and Elderberries 😄 Lady S I appreciate you very much❣️❣️ 🐻💋🐻💋🐻

Dear GW,
I honestly had no idea there were this many fruit options! What a fantastically clever write. I am off to find some of these fruits. Jack fruit? What does this look like?? I’m learning so much today...H🌷

Hi Honoria!
jack fruit is soooo popular here at a ton of vegan restaurants.... it's not bad tasting... kinda reminds me of tofu and how it takes on the flavor of whatever you cook it in. I've mostly seen it used as a meat substitute. I've had it in tacos many times...and it's really good! I'm not vegan, I just like to shake it up sometimes.. hahaha 😂 I have seen it in Whole Foods and Trader Joe's because it's trendy, I guess...

It's just interesting to me too, because I didn't know what it was at first either!

Phew! Thank goodness that Blue know's about Jack fruit 🥴...not many "J" fruits out there. Thank you so much, Honoria, for showing interest in my work. It adds fuel to my poetic fire❣️❣️

Hi B!
Thank you for letting me know what this about. It wouldn’t be the first time I’ve asked the produce manager what something is, ex: I had no clue what a zucchini was😳
Okay...I’m going in...wish me luck!

For me A,B,D,F,H,L,M,W,Y and change K to Key lime for me ;) (don't really change it just saying for me lol)
