JackieFruit

Jackie goes to market
with Mom buying bucket
(loads of stuffs).

Passing by the fruit seller,
who sells guava for a dollar
(and five apples for that amount).

Mom stops to choose,
Jackie starts to muse
(her many child-like troubles).

Like Fifty cents for an ice-cream,
or five ice-sticks
(which are ten-cents each).

An aroma drifted,
across her silly ponderings
(of sweet snacks for keeps).

The fruit seller was cutting,
this curiously shaped thing
(like the biggest fruit she'd seen)!

Smells like sour honey,
sticky with white coating
(of bright orange fruit for treat)!

Mom says it's Jackfruit
but it's Jackiefruit she thinks
(her very own fruit with her name).

Mom says it's an exotic fruit
what's that, she thinks
(but good enough, they are special things).

Off to home after, with a Jackiefruit in tow,
Hand in hand, mother and daughter stroll
Down the market place and in time,
A Jackiefruit, their common buy.
