Ode To A Tomato


There it is so round and firm, with just a hint of earth
A season's early entry, with seductive plumpness girth
The color red in different shades, surrounds it's outer wall
And one cannot evade nor still, a delicate siren's call
The cut to reveal the inner glory, is done in tender slice
The juice and seeds within, reveal flavor's design to entice
O Jersey tomato of world renown, your time no more to see
NOT POSSIBLE say the Jerseyites, this simply cannot be
Jersey fame has come and gone, the pain not soon to pass
Face it, the Pamela tomato has whupped your sorry ass
