Mangoes

Mangoes are my favourite food
Best to be eaten in the nude
Eat them here
Eat them there
I like to eat them everywhere.
Mangoes are exceptionally great
When fishing there used as bait
Feel them squish
See them squash
Eating mangoes I feel so posh.
Have I convinced you to try one yet?
I’m sure you will like it and that’s a bet
You’ll eat them today
You’ll eat them tomorrow
And eating mangoes won’t cause any sorrow
