When fruit gets ripe I am glad,

But then it spoils and I get sad,

When it ripens eat it quick,

Fermenting fruit will make you sick.

It needs to ripen for green fruit,

If eaten will your stomach boot,

You may gag and feel quite yik,

T’will be that way until you sick.

Once fruit is ripe then don’t delay,

Eat it up, ’twill fuel your day,

As my Granny once told me,

Fructose gives the best of energy.
