Hey you're doin' pretty good there Jude
Amazin' what one can do when in the mood
Some nights I find my rhyming just won't flow
But its still good to just come & give it a go
If its not flowing I'll just go & nibble on some food

Midnight oil I quite often burn
Else I'm likely to just toss and turn
Can't sleep too early
That makes me surly
For shut-eye I lie there and yearn.

Feijoas are so hard to beat
They're juicy but not very sweet
They're plump and quite round
And fall on the ground
And that's when they're ready to eat
Persimmons are also quite nice
They taste good in salads (just slice)
They've such a great flavour
So why don't you savour
You can munch them, or just shred or dice...

To eat kiwifruit's quite idiotic
if they're dosed up with antibiotic.
Try an apple instead
and you'll be well fed
things might turn out rather erotic.
Well... remember how Eve tempted Adam?
That girl must've been quite a madam!
And it worked, never fear
that's why we are here.
So I guess that we all should be glad, mmm?

Well I don't want to grapple and puff
At my age that would be too much.
But I'd take it quite gently
ensconsed in a Bentley
with a lover so tender -- not rough.

My favourite fruit is a peach
At home or on trips to the beach
The juice is so sweet
That two I could eat
Come with me and we'll have one each.

Kuranui that oil I too burn
So often past mid-night, and yearn
For the bliss of some sleep
As the long hours creep
on to morning with each toss and turn
Long nights seeking sleep I know well
The battle to find it is hell
The longer you take
The more wide awake
'Til you just want to get up and yell.
As for food - Just how safe is an apple?
We know not in what way they dapple
For what do they spray?
Or inject in some way?
It's with questions like this we must grapple.
For there isn't a food we can say
Is sure to be safe in a way
So that means - no food
Or sleep - Then I'm screwed
I might as well call it a day!

Tis, it is sadly so true
Our fruit can be one poisoned stew
With steroid in meat
Everything that we eat
Has GM or odd genes all through

Think I'll have another go
to show you that I really know
how to rhyme
most of the time
so what do you think of the flow?
