Life is Just a Bowl of...

Cherries are the perfect snack

When they are deep dark red.

If you’ve a sweet-tooth craving,

With these fruits it will be fed.

They should be firm when purchased

And, if possible, a’stem.

Just rinse and fill a little bowl

With quite a bunch of them.

Remember to provide a cup

For those annoying pits,

Then pluck them from your mouth

(Unless you’re one of those who spits).

A handful is enough for me

But vigilant remain

‘Cause if you aren’t careful,

Man, that cherry juice does stain!
