ode to mango

O mango, your yellow flesh
Bright and juicy, not like the rest
When the sun shines, your skin glows
But when the clouds up, you quench your thirst
You are best when you’re young or old
I still love you either when you’re green or gold
Your sweet nectar, nothing beats it
Your aroma can be smelt from far and wide
Raising you aint hard to do
Your big seed is the prize for a king
When I crave you, I make a big fuss
When I get you, I devour every single drop of god's nectar
Your delicious meat is full of flavour
You remind me of summer
