OH! Most savory fruit with deep, red, seeded flesh.

Your lusciousness abounds!

Tangy sweetness; the ‘garden candy’

Ruby, Scarlett, Garnet, Purple, Yellow, Orange, and Green,

Your variety, limitless.

Heirloom stripes and summer nights’ heat ripen

That flavor on my tongue!

I wait a year to have it back again.

Through Autumns’ burnt leaves and Winters’ snow

Through Springs’ fresh greens and sneezes

You! Fair Tomato, are worth the wait, the anticipation

To consume once again in simplistic glory

With Salt and Pepper and Fork.

Cheers!
