Fruit

An old write lost in the wipe out...for my new friends.

 

 

“You’re a colour not a fruit”, said the Banana to the Orange, grinning.

“Your value and worth is determined by Monkeys”, replied the Orange, grinning back.

“You both give us a bad name”, said the Apple, annoyed.

“Is that you talking or the worm inside you?” snickered the Banana right back.

“High Five Banana Babe”, Orange winks.

“I think Apple is right!”, says Watermelon.

“Oh yeah! Then bowl us over, Water brain”, chuckled Orange.

“That’s a double high five Orange”, laughed Banana.

“I’ll top you on that one Orange”, chimed in Cherry, amused.

“Don’t you worry Apple, I’m on your side”, called out Strawberry.

“Berry kind of you”, laughed Banana sarcastically “Only if I too had friends like you!”

“Have some Compassion”, whispered the Passion Fruit.

“Just sit quiet and be your erotic self, I mean, exotic self”, replied Banana.

All laughed.

“They’re all jerks”, said Mango, looking at Passion Fruit.

“Looks like Mr. Sour is getting Sweet”, laughed Orange.

“You F%%%%%% B%%%%%% W%%%%%%!!!”, yelled Mango.

 

Silence followed.

 

Ten minutes later, someone announced:

 

“The Fruit Salad’s ready”.

This was a great story, very cute and creative. As a rule I am not a fan of color or fancy fonts but in this case they add to the piece.

I love fruit salad, but I had no idea it was such a quarrelsome and incompatible mixture. It was very clever of you to make this up, O! I wonder whose side a kiwi would take.
