Read together
Bananas and grapes, oh so sweet,
Together they make a delicious treat.
Carrots are good, bright and orange,
A healthy snack that gives energy and range.
Lime so tart, it makes your mouth pucker,
But in a drink, it adds a special zucker.
Mangos are soft, with a juicy inside,
A sweet delight that can't be denied.
An apple a day, keeps the doctor away,
So crisp and red, it brightens your day.
Pineapple, oh how it shines,
With its sweet flavor, it’s simply divine.
Oranges are round, with a bumpy skin,
And when you peel them, the juice flows within.
Lemons so sour, with a yellow hue,
But in your tea, they'll make it brand new.
Watermelon, big and green,
With its juicy goodness, it's a summer dream.
So come and pick, which one do you choose,
All these fruits are healthy, there's no excuse!
