Ode to Kiwis

ODE TO KIWIS

Albeit fruit or flightless bird,

Scant larger than a turd,

Whether brightly orange or spritely yellow,

A citrus snack or feathered fellow,

Both bring joy at different turns-

Quenched cuteness anyone yearns.

How one could wish for - in their hand -

A little friend not quite so bland.

In the interim I’ll settle on this,

A plushie muskrat for short-lived bliss.
