FIVE FRUITS A DAY ~ HELP YOU WORK REST & PLAY !

BRIAN & ANGELA

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!

        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!

                We are so fortunate today. We eat better than kings of past centuries.
                Again well done.
