You are big and quite beautiful to look at The color of your skin can sometimes play trickery Fooling us to what is inside Shades of yellow and sometimes Dark red You sound like you know who you are but you confuse us with your name You look so sweet and tantalizing but you are invariably sour and can be quite nasty I am sad to say that I have never liked you and never will I don’t know why others find you so special You might be a fruit but you are no grape
Christine your poem reminds me of a couple of Thanksgivings ago, when I made a mixed fruit salad of grapes, strawberries, apples, and yes, the dreaded grapefruit. It genuinely surprised me when nobody went near the salad. Finally, my daughter in-law, bless her heart, said, “None of us likes grapefruit.” I love the end of your poem:
“You might be a fruit
but you are no grape”

Too funny Lisa! Living here in Florida we all have an abundance of citrus trees in our yards. Many have grapefruit trees but they cannot give the produce away. Everybody goes “oh no thank you I’ve got plenty”. Liars!!!
Lol!! I know I’m not alone.
LOL I was watching a preview for a new movie on Netflix Girls Trip or something like that. Anyways the ladies are all talking and one comes out grabs a grapefruit and goes back. There is one who has no idea what is going on and neither do I when the other two ask if she has never done the grapefruit thing? As the fourth comes and gets another grapefruit. The other three are sitting there and suddenly the guy starts screaming because she had squeezed/gotten some grapefruit on his nether region. I have to watch the movie for sure but this is what your poem reminded me of. Thank you for my morning smile. 🙂

Ouch! That sounds painful 😖
Grapefruits are just not good for you! Lol 🤣
Not at all. If you have Netflix search it the scene is hularious. Jada Smith (can’t spell last name) Queen Latifha and not to sure who the other two are. Looks hilarious. 😂😂😂

I’m going to check that out! I meant grapefruit juice in the nether region sounded painful 😖 the movie sounds really funny!
Wow, I might be the odd ball here! I love grapefruit! I like to sprinkle a little salt and it’s good to go!🤣
There are those that love it. Maybe the salt helps with sourness 🙂
Yes, and there’s also large grapefruit that is less sour. 😉
Maybe with a lot of sugar on it and I hold my nose it might taste ok! 🤣
😀 The image of you doing such a thing is hilarious! I feel like this could be an amazing caricature!!
Haha!! 🤣
Few things are on my list of good no-nos, but grapefruit tops the list! Great write, tho — and I have to find that movie ……………
I know, sometimes it can be confusing to say if its ripe or not. Good one.
I’m with you all the way on this one!
Lol! I knew I wasn’t the only one 🤣

Yes but oh I burst out laughing.
Nice lines: “You sound like
you know who you are
but you confuse us” That does remind me of grapefruit.
Yes! Nothing grape-like about it!!!
I share the dislike. Thankfully, we do not get much of grapefruit out here, so it is not forced on us.
Yes! It’s right up there with cabbage
🙂
Lol! Good one, Christine! 🙂
Haha! Yes!
I think I am with you…I have to be in the right mood to face a grapefruit…and that is hardly ever!
Never for me! 🤮
Good one! I agree. Never could handle the sour taste of grapefruit.
Yes nasty fruit!
😉
