Coconuts are great refreshers,
And great nourish-ers,
Any time of the year…
When you are weary,
And you feel thirsty,
Or when you are hungry,
If there are coconuts nearby,
Your needs they would satisfy,
And make you extremely happy.
The coconuts that you see here,
Are the best I have seen ever,
They are blemish-less outside,
And delicious inside!
They came straight from the fridge,
With the top cut like a door,
A perfect hexagonal door,
With one side acting as a hinge,
And with a lovely flower,
And a colourful straw,
Beautifully peeping out,
From the almost shut door,
And the Coconut resting on a plate,
With a spoon by its side.
We lifted the door,
To relish first,
The most delicious,
And copious,
Cool Coconut water,
And then scoop out,
And eat,
The tender…est,
Sweetest,
And tastiest,
Malai!
Of these coconuts called Maphrao!
We repeated this experience,
Until we returned home,
To our land,
Of Kobbari (Coconut) Bondam.
