Mangoes

Make way for the king -
Among the summer blossoms,
mango trees bear fruit.

- me

If you hate the slurp,
the spill, the mess, you can
never enjoy mangoes.

I enjoy slurp,
spill, mess,
if it is while
eating mangoees!

- Alaka

Thick yellow juice runs
down my neck, joy down my throat:
mango season's here!

- me

Great love-making and
mango ravishing truly
need gay abandon.
