a nutty pear, that bush and blair

as their kernels re orange the evil

our berry best passion pares with pierre

forgive us our water cresses and olive us from weevil

pomegranates spinach a yarn

sprouting pruning relations

they try to grapel and turnip the tide

to sugar or beet the core of nations

yank go the roots of forbidden fruit

the date palms furrow narrow

pipping mandarins and brussel sprouts

with no thought of the marrow

kola lychee rice and pumpkin powell

and the rye one in carrot fashion,

while iraqis implore them leaf us alone,

give the sultana a bashin'

then! from salad days freshly diced!

upon the world stage playing a tune!

abruptly putting an end to war

and not a moment too prune

I, barry humphreys' edna

have a peace of fruit for you each

my vine is the kingdom the flower and the glory

because I believe in fresh peach

bush and blair say gourd help us!

and doubled up in laughter end war

they seed the cherry of their ways

we cantelope for more
