The Fruit

Driving in the sunny south,

Southern Europe not Wexford.

You see them lined along the path

The citrus trees full of that fuit.

You know, that fruit,

The citrus one, you drink its juice,

No not lemon you idiot, the other fruit.

The one that doesn't rhyme, the poet's taboo.

It tastes oh so fresh

Full of Vtiamin C

I can tell you're getting a picture

Of what this fruit may be.

No? My God man seriously?

The frsh citrus fuit, full of Vitamin C?

Don't make me say it don't make me!

Fine, fine, fine it's an orange!
