Slide your fingernail, <br />Into the rind, <br />A sudden burst of smell, <br />Tickles your nose. <br /> <br />Peeling the rind off, <br />Ever so slow, <br />See if you can do it, <br />In one big piece. <br /> <br />Dribbles of juice, <br />Run down your fingers, <br />Dividing the sections, <br />The smell is so sweet. <br /> <br />Quickly popping, <br />A section of fruit, <br />Feeling the explosion, <br />Inside of your mouth. <br /> <br />Taste buds loving, <br />The sweet taste of juice, <br />Quickly popping <br />Another piece of fruit. <br /> <br />Delightful and refreshing, <br />Popping piece after piece <br />Savor the taste, <br />Eating it as quick as you can<br /><br />A.M.
