Nectarines
Some things you remember throughout your life,
Eating a nectarine paring with a knife,
Cutting through skin to reveal the juice,
Just having one - what is the use.
Grab another it makes a meal,
Hold in the hand temptation is real,
Succulent and firm the colour is right,
Savour each mouthful it's pure delight.
Even these days they are the same,
No-one dares to change their name,
Filled with nourishment great for the waist,
Matched with goodness what a beautiful taste.
