Melicoccus Bijugatus
I was just eating a bowl of Ackees when my newspaper girl came. The patio was too wet from the rain for her to put the paper down, so I went out to meet her. I used to be able to juggle eating a Melicoccus Bijugatus and reading but now, I don’t risk it. My reflexes are out of whack from the Multiple Sclerosis in my body. When I finished and got to take my usual glance through at the highlights, I just had to take out my magnifier and read about this family member to Sapindaceae. Thanks for making it possible and for inspiriting the following double Acrostic poem
| The Melicoccus Bijugatus There seems to be a large variety of Ackee breeds Have some tough to come off and some slip off the seeds Every Ackee isn’t luscious and some, I rather I didn’t bite May even be spotty within from over exposure to sunlight Earlier, when I was very young, they didn’t sell Ackees Lots of people got them freely from their neighbors’ trees I never knew much about them except for the old folks tale Consume a twinny and you will get twins except you were male Only when I grew up I learnt the trees that don’t bear Can’t because various trees are male, dah ez wah I hear! Care was taken to not give children the seed Until they were conditioned, it was unanimously agreed So with all this I thought I knew it all But the Silent Doctors’ article made my knowledge seem small I never knew of their long list in nutritional value Juicy, yes, didn’t know you could roast seeds and eat them too Use the leaves against fleas, who would have guest Got diarrhea or tonsillitis, try Ackees, it’s even good with IBS Ackees mean a lot more to me, thanks to your article Today, just before I read it, I’d had a bowl full Unknown to me then, I just wanted a treat Sweet Ackees that come off the seed easily I just love to eat!. |
