If apples could date oranges
what a strange pear that would be,
all day in the fruit bowl
without a break for tea

If apples could date oranges
the moon would be in reach,
happiness would tickle
like the hairs of a peach

If pears could date peaches
what a sublime couple they’d make,
one wonky and one round
and both grooving in a shake

If pears could date peaches
they’d roll around all day,
and head to a bullfight
so they could shout O-lay!

If bananas could date strawberries
they’d be the favorite party flavor,
at the mall they’d take a picture
to set as their screen saver

If bananas could date strawberries
what a smoothie they would make,
tall paired with small and
too sweet for a toothache
