PISTACIA VERA

Jesus Betancourt 1955 (New York)



I always want to get under her shell
Ever since she became my favorite nut
She put me under her spell
Made butterflies stir in my gut

I now know my attraction
It's her delicious family tree
There's no other to fulfill my satisfaction
Her taste sets her apart, uniquely
