From the Wonder of the Day-I wrote a poem about this fruit in disguise...using the wonder to capture ideas and words about the topic of grapefruit. Thanks to Wonderopolis for always inviting curiosity!
Grapefruit-The Fruit in Disguise
Grapefruit growing wild and free
Discovered in search of the knowledge tree
Seen by people, first given a name
"the forbidden fruit"-eaten in shame
Seems you're a cross between one and another
Pommelo and orange-one was your mother
At first you're a little like grapes-a little bit strange
then as you age you grow bigger and change
At first you're a little like grapes-a little bit strange
then as you age you grow bigger and change
Moving through time and revealed in print
Growing on trees and worth a mint
Tasty and healthy, packing a punch
Grab one from the grocery and eat it for lunch!
Thankful for Hughes and Lunart-our naming guys
Who helped us to learn about this fruit in disguise!
