Encapsulated sweetness, enveloped in thin skin
Clear inside, yet daunting at the outside
Is it good? Is it sour?
Hanging by the vines to tempt.
As it ferments, it makes good drink
Refreshing and intoxicating
A drink fit for the gods
Becomes expensive as time goes on.
Gelatinous and sweet
So tempting to eat
Each bite leaves you wanting for more
Why the need to skin it bare?
