Remember when you are in your local HYPERMARKET ~ that
the recommendation is "TEN A DAY" Five portions of Voluptuous
Veggies and five of Fabulous Fruit ~ you know it makes sense !
An APPLE a day
keeps the Doctor away ~ BUT
I want mine to stay !
ORANGES are juicy
oranges are cute ~ remember
they are not the only FRUIT !
Loved by Humans ~ loved
by Apes ~ give me a bunch of
sweet green & red GRAPES !
A BANANA is
a mellow fellow ~ soft inside
and ripe when yellow !
One PEAR is scrumptious
I declare ~ but my delight
is a plump fine pair !
Thanks for visiting ~ comments welcome ~ Yours BRIAN
Are you getting your five a day ? If not why not ?
These poems are posted as HAIKU ~ all with three
lines mainly with 5~7~5 syllables per line ~ OK.

- Comment from author about the poem: FRUIT is often just an optional extra. In the UK we have the ubiquitous Fruit Bowl with a few hard apples ~ hard to peel oranges and overripe bananas ! Wives and Mothers need to incorporate FRUIT into their families diet ! An apple or tangerine with breakfast ~ A banana in the lunch box ~ A fruit pie or fruit salad for dinner and grapes or figs or dates fro nibbles while watching TV. Tomatoes are also a very versatile fruit ! Fruit and veggies in the diet are a positive attitude of mind and much more nutritious than JUNK FOOD. Changing you diet is a "life changing" as falling in Love ! Love a PINEAPPLE and CAULIFLOWER ! Comments welcome ~ Love to ALL ~ BRIAN XOX

My daily lunch consists of one hone made roll with some cheese and a tomato followed by:
1 banana
1 clementine
1 plum
1 pear (or apple)
1 small bunch of grapes
I have been doing that for more years than I care to remember.
So yes I am getting my 5 a day, the veg comes in the evening!
WOW GF an awesome intake ~ reminds me of the lunches ~ laid out at the local Zoo for the Primates. You are indeed a FRUITARIAN ~ BRIAN
what about juicy fruit gum...anything!
fruit is great for munchies
THANKS WILLY ~ People have inquired if five fruit gums count or 5 Jaffa Cakes (biscuits) ~ very droll ~ BRIAN
Brilliant Brian - love the banana one
Thanks MICHAEL ~ Lot of internal rhyme ~ it sounded smooth as a ripe banana ~ BRIAN
I can't quite stay on top of all the five a day. Produce is very expensive. And my husband eats all the bananas. We do love apples and raspberries and strawberries and other seasonal fruits. Nice write!
I know you are a very healthy Lady CHRIS and you understand nutrition and Healthy Eating ! I am sure each of your Family gets at lease 5 per day (10 is almost impossible to sustain !) Thanks for an excellent comment ~ A Strawberry Hug ~ BRIAN
Very sweet and healthy Brian.
That's me HONEY ! Thanks ~ Fruit maketh Man & Woman ~ HEALTHY ~ WEALTHY & WISE ~ Hugs BRIAN
