Inside A Watermelon


There is a big outer shell around me

A magenta pink middle to satisfy thee

To many secret seeds to spit out at once

Sometimes the sweet in me is hard to trust

I may be big, but there's a lot of quality

There are a lot of details that are unsweetened

I sprout by the grace of the sunlight

To make sure I'm growing up ripe

A juicy flavor that blasts vigorously

But outside are stripes that are seen

I want to be treated with tender care

Cause there is more than enough of me to share

My body is round and has little shape

Well to me that's part of why I'm so great

Most people say that I'm hard to cut

But really I'm easier to crack than a nut

My hard exterior has got me so far

So now it's time to raise the bar

My journey is never going to end

To you sincerely your watermelon friend
