In a land of fruit and fun,
There were fruits by the ton!
Grapes, pineapples, and watermelon,
Apples, pears, and strawberries so melon.
Bananas, lemons, and more,
A rainbow of colors to adore.
Each fruit unique in its way,
But all tasty every single day.
The grape is small and round,
In a bunch, it can be found.
The pineapple has a spiky crown,
A sweet taste that's never let down.
Watermelon is big and green,
Perfect for a summertime scene.
Apples can be red or green,
A classic fruit we've always seen.
Pears are juicy and sweet,
A tasty treat that can't be beat.
Strawberries are small and red,
A flavor that goes straight to your head.
Bananas are curved and yellow,
A fruit that's always ripe and mellow.
The lemon is tart and sour,
But a refreshing taste to devour.
So come and taste each fruity delight,
They'll make your taste buds take flight.
Fruit is the way to go,
A healthy snack that's never slow!
