When you pick a juicy mango off the tall mango tree,
Just by looking at it or smelling it, your eyes
Will water with joy
The beautiful colour of the skin is like the shiny
Sun or sometimes as green as grass
Mangoes feel as soft as silk or maybe even silkier
Than silk
They smell like gorgeous perfume reminding me
Of sunflowers from the garden
Once you eat mangoes your taste buds can taste all
The goodness in them,
They will taste awesome when you eat them like
All the fruits mixed together
All thoughts of mangoes make me feel like eating
All my favourite foods
