Raisins, not sins.
Really I can’t understand why people hate these.
Amazing dehydrated fruits
If people like other sun dried foods what did raisins do to deserve such scrutiny?
Sweet, wrinkly wads of goodness
Including fiber and healthy sugars, and not a budget breaker
No, they aren’t gross, In fact I’d call them nature’s candy
Shameful when people continue the war on them.
Appetizing dehydrated grapes
Right, what about grapes?
Easily the more popular brother of raisins
Grapes are attention seekers
Rubbish, polished marbles
Egotistical, green, red, or purple distracting from their apathy with color
As raisins are humble, choosing to stay the same dark purple
Truth and loyalty is what I see every time I open a can and am bombarded with the harsh scent.
And you may ask
Not all raisins are the same color, some are gold, is that not a double standard?
Dumb, you are for having thought that.
Prunes they are not, raisins are fun lovers but not boastful
Understanding the difference, you are not
Remarkable Dehydrated fruits
Elegant earnest enticing.
Now though, raisins receive disrespect from all but me it seems
Oh is there not someone else out there who likes these weird and wonderful wads of sweetness?
Like a pug, all wrinkly but still just the best goober ever.
Identifiably like a tortoise slow and wise
Every raisin, a precious jewel.
Yogurt, or fruitcake, they combine masterfully with everything
Or by themselves still scrumptious
Use your brain damn it, these are the pinnacle of taste bud tantalization
Repulsive?
Exotic
World wide trip from California to the rest of the world
Endless waiting on shelves
Intense waiting until some one picks them up and take them home
Raisins stay strong so other foods don’t have to
Dehydrated beans of brilliance
