The Orange

At breakfast I tried an orange
The acid made my mouth swell
I threw it in the rubbish bin
And chucked the orange juice as well

That orange it made me so angry
My body can’t cope with such fruit
I moaned about it for the rest of the day
Until everyone wished I was mute

The rest of the day was crap
My sore throat and headache got worse
I’m beginning to think that that orange
Was poisoned, or filled with a curse. 

(Inspired by Wendy Cope's poem The Orange)
