What is a mango to a nerd?

It's not a girl who’s hot, I’ve heard!

Would a gypsy say to me

That it’s a fruit, or it’s tree?

But it's necessary to define

If shade’s a wish, or just to dine.

Residual? Is that the pit?

Whatever's left behind, that’s it!


An army passing ‘neath a tree

Might grab some mangos that they see.

I shall not harp on stealing here,

Not from kindness, more from fear.

Relations matter; reasons count.

Tempers flare as tensions mount.

Beyond the ridge ‘tween smart and dumb,

A mango wonders who’s which one.

Sharon, your poems are always 'top-class' and this is no exception! Your muse certainly had fun with the 10 words and has turned out one awesome write! Thank you for submitting this to my contest.
