Wow, thank you so much for the pleasure of being able to read this! You didn't leave out any details! And even where you did, you left room for interpretation to be made.

This is a very well-done poem. Even if it's not political satire, as you say, it certainly does a wonderful job of showing the downside of prejudice and segregation. By using personified fruit, rather than actual people, it doesn't make the reader feel as though the point is being shoved in his face. It makes it enjoyable to read, and takes the guilt out of being happy that the king gets his comeuppance.

Goose:

This is a well-written satire on a world gone crazy, politics aside. Racial bias and ethnic issues have long been problems in our world and, I fear, always will be.

I love poetry/stories like this. It makes a lot of sense on many levels. I can see why this would be a good seller on Amazon. I hope that your book does well.

Ah, yes, if it were only that easy to counter bad fruit. Love this kind of rhyme and a good story. Might be just a bit long for some, but I certainly enjoyed it.

You poem/story is very well written. To this line I say BS (There is no political satire intended nor is there a political agenda attached. ) and the reason I say BS is this line is a lie. Please just be honest.

    I?m sorry you didn?t get the humor? Was written to be funny? I?m sorry that didn?t resonate with you but I?m not going to apologize because you don?t get a joke?

I enjoyed this little satirical piece then I got to the real joke in the Author's note. 'There is no political satire intended nor is there a political agenda attached.' There is only one possible comment to that statement -- bull@&it!

I enjoyed the creativity of the story behind the poem. There is a great flow with the story having an easy-to-read nature. There is truth to the words in a descriptive way. I liked it.

The Orange, clearly Trump, pretty much sticks the big banana in the pineapple ring until he s finally replaced by the fruitless alternative.
