A Pair of Political Pears

by QC Poet

 A Pair of Pears leaning on each other seemingly Without any Cares?
Asian or "Apple texture" pears can be eaten once picked and cleaned off their stem,
The European/French type get pulled a bit early so they don't over ripen!
"Oops", a pear fell over is it now Wishing and Hoping that Nobody Stares? 
Each tree raised to be productive with their fruits examined like a gem!
Some are sold to Nations with a different "Allegiance" than yours with "Nobody Gripen"?

Grown here with a Foreign sounding Name though most are produced in the Northwest of the U.S.A.!
Are those pictured here Now Maybe Saying one to the other - "I Hope you Had a Great Stay"?
Will they wonder if They'll Get Selected to be "Exported" or Think about any other "Political Hype"? 
Not knowing on Whose tables they Will End Up on for them It Won't Matter!
They'll only want to be ripe, delicious, juicy and Possibly be a little Fatter?
This might be the Wrong Word to Use but again they "Don't Run For Office" or even "Twitter Type"! 

U-Pick and Big Farm Operations have long Become Consumer Norms,
for this Delicious Fruit and Sweetener Used in So Many Different Kinds of our favorite Foods!
Farm Stands are Still a Way for People to Feel more Secure with their "Own Pick"!
This Idea Helped many U.S. Farmer's to Rid us of Fears of a Foreign Name that Might have Made them Sick?
What's Obvious is It Works extremely Well and Changed Many of our U.S. Consumers Moods!
It's in Many vinaigrettes, baby foods, glazes, and fruit bars found Today on Tables and in our College Dorms! 

Marketing season's Depend and Differ by State along with their Kinds and Varieties, 
With Picking seasons Usually beginning from July and for some pears ending up through November!
You maybe Surprised to Learn Where they'll End Up After They Go?
Besides being delicious They Help Feed many Different Cultures and Societies!
Something in Times of Trouble We may Forget and then Don't Remember?
We also Provide them to Various top selling countries like United Arab Emirates, Russia, Canada, and Mexico!
