My Roly-Poly Friend - Women's Musings

Share our stories on social media:

I love love love my watermelon,
wet and juicy and sweet
I’m so happy when I eat you
In the warm warm summer heat

Big and green and pink
and heavy roly-poly round
I watch you in the summer sun
growing all over the ground

When winter comes you’re gone
and I’m as sad as sad can be
No more melons full of water
not for you and not for me

When I say more more more please
My body says oh no,
no melons in the winter
that isn’t when they grow

And so I’ll have to wait,
till summer comes around again
to take a bite of sweetness
from my roly-poly friend
