By the Bunch

Fruits are good for snacking,

Like an orange or a plum

Or a peach or nectarine

Or pear or apple, even some

 

Within the melon family,

Where even just a slice

Of a cantaloupe or honeydew

Or crenshaw would suffice.

 

Most people are content with one

When looking for a munch

Except, of course, for grapes because

With them, you’d want a bunch.

 

I wonder why, when Mother Nature’s

Plan for fruits was hatched,

She came up with the strange idea

That grapes should be attached.

 

There must have been a reason

Why on stems they’ve gotten stuck,

But it’s kind of fun to eat them

‘Til you find you’re out of pluck.
