Oranges



Oranges have such a beautiful scent
The aroma fills the air once it’s peeled
An affordable snack, only a cent
Eaten anywhere, from beach to the field

The color is vibrant and so striking
A name so unique there is few rhymes
Perfect for tanning, hiking or biking
In my opinion they surpass limes

They create the most popular fruit juice
From blood to mandarin to clementine
Out of all the rest, it’s the best produce
It is even on our Florida sign!

The color orange has been created
From the fruit that is very well rated
