ode to tomato's


oh sweet round and plump tomato
hanging deliciously ripe on the vine,
how i'd like to pick you clean and greedily call you mine.
but alas your tempting smell is but a vile trick.
for the moment I taste your juice I become quite sick.
your juices are not sweet or true,
but dirty to the core.
you have released your wretched tricks that bring me to the floor.
bending low i spew you out as i curl and wince in pain.
how dare you be so bittersweet
to one who loves in vain.
