The Spanish Sweet Clementine

Drafted back in circa 2007 in honor of a good friend working late nights in east TN, and to commemorate the inaugural pealing of this tasty citrus indulgence, I present to you this one and only poetic masterpiece: The Spanish Sweet Clementine.

The Spanish Sweet Clementine
Oh how I love you sweet Clementine orange. You are so tasty and special. Sweet and delicious... especially most nutritious. Oh how I love you sweet Clementine orange.

Clementine, sitting so sweet in your special little crate in the grocery store… I just don’t know how my taste buds ever survived before you, what a bore. You’re tasty juice is so sweet and pure, I’m sure my potassium depleted muscles, you will cure.

Clementine, with your soft bright skin, in the store you’re easy to find… you belong to the mandarin family of oranges, the smallest of your kind. Imported into the states the first time in 1982… now I just can’t get enough of you.

Now that you are intrigued by the tasty little jingle I have prepared, I’m sure it is time for me to get back to work, despaired. Sweet Clementine, I’m sure we’ll meet again, in about 2 hours when I peal another one of you, and dig in.
