Grapefruit-A Fruit in Disguise



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 

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!
