Watermelon


Round green hot-weather friend
Cut to find the red, red centre
Sweet red nectar, drips (take the shirt off that boy!)
Cool heavy sphere, now triangulated
Each bite releasing new dribbles
Till tasting rabbit-delight whiteness of the rind
The pleasant problem crops up
Another slice - or rest?

  1. Here here! And definitely "Take the shirt off that. . . (in our case) girl."

    Though it the mangoes here that are the true paradise.
