Several Ways to See a Pineapple

1. Twelve birds may fly, But the pineapple is grounded.

2. The pineapple sat all alone, In the cold and empty fruit bowl, Fear and terror, At what was coming next, The long sharp thing, Lying on the bench, Waiting for hunger to settle, In the human's hungry heart.

3. A king of sorts, The pineapple rules the market, But when you put him, With others of his kind, No one knows who rules.

4. His protective armour shields him, From other fruits intent, But when he comes across humans, Nothing can protect him.

5. My life is dull, But why shoud I care? I'm just a pineapple.

6. Pineapple, pineapple, Will you be my friend? Pineapple, pineapple, I'll eat you 'till your end!

7. The pineapple shows much wisdom, To those who will not eat it.
