watermelon stories--it's all about the slurp

some great folk philosopher/grandad
said
that watermelon is best eaten off the rind
red juices
dribbling down chins
hands sticky
nose wet
elbows wet
and he said it takes someone
proper
to cut it up
poke out the seeds
(so you can't spit 'em!)
fork and knife and napkin it
and realize how bland it really is
and prefer cantaloupe.
