Eriobotrya japonica

Yours truly never heard, seen, no lies
particularly when alone
facing my (pushing up daisies) demise,
without pretense nor guise,
he honestly decries
smelled, tasted, nor touched, any size,

and essentially knew nothing besides
ancient fruit grown in Japan
for past 1,000 years as Earth flies

thru space, now more about loquats,
plethora of details to exercise
memory bank, though

this poetaster still tries
to appear learned, no matter
me no expert, I reckon eyes

aforementioned small yellow size
egg-shaped acidic fruit
great breakfast, lunch,
or dinner sup prize

for dessert never knew the evergreen
eastern Asian tree of rose family,
in Thorndale residents
at somber occasions,
or holidays edibly feast
as modus operandi to eulogize.

If ever opportunity
finds agriculturally cocksure
and propensity doth arise to venture
to savor succulent juice of Loquat,
savoir faire mine mean
mien to one epicure
this wordsmith, whatever

his wordsworth as whitman,

he will need to remove lower denture

minor inconvenient truth (er tooth),
where jaws comprise juncture

and/or chop delectable treats
into byte size morsels.

Perhaps before I lay
me down to sleep
forever and a day
launched into death
be not proud, aye
will strive to appease
culinary yen oy vey
searching high and
low unexpectedly axed
about diddly squat (a spot,

pimple, or sty) seated

please and lemme

introduce myself, cuz

thar thou looking

for specific monsignor okay
thy my quest, I wilt thus assay
to indulge me secrete,

and rejoice hip... hip... hooray

if thee will allow any which way,
yours truly to supplicate,

perhaps magic discovery

after I pay obeisance and pray
to Mother Nature

my hunger, she will allay.

If ambition to satiate loquat all naught

please scatter cremated ashes,

upon bed of loquat sought
but ne'er found,
cuz earnestness to secure
coveted desire fraught,

not necessarily in vain if I got
repurposed to commingle,
viz this pauper devoid of haute

cuz thrift stores find me

where clothes get bought.
