FRUIT 
Funny- 
yet in a odd 
sort of way, 
how men 
liken women and cars 
to fruit- 
of all things. 
And we’ve all heard 
the expressions 
“She’s a peach,” 
and- 
“Its in cherry condition.” 
Though there’s a tendency 
to forget 
that the “cherry” will 
eventually 
turn into a “lemon” 
and the “peach” 
into a “old prune.” 
Of course, 
there’s a convenient 
solution 
for when that happens- 
a trade-in 
for a newer model. 
As for me, 
far from peach- 
not quite old prune- 
I am somewhere in-between 
one and the other.
