The orange 🍊

Just two people sharing a nice little orange for lunch..

I brought in an orange for lunch
I’m glad I can provide for you
I know it’s the only thing you’ll eat this morning
the ring of the bell is my cue,
I take out the plump porous fruit and juice squirts all over my knuckle.
The smells of the citrus rinds fills the room but bitterness made us both chuckle
They say oranges are good for sight
And I may have to agree
Because when we shared that sweet zesty nectar, All I could see was your beauty.
Something so small as an orange.
Can hold so much simplicity.
I hope you never stop liking oranges.
So our love can last for infinity.

Inspired by “the orange” by Wendy cope, if you haven’t read it I highly recommend!!
