THE ANTIGUAN BLACK PINEAPPLE

Ask me what fruit I would like to be,
And the pineapple, I would reply, certainly.
But not just any pineapple, Jack.
I would like to be the ANTIGUAN BLACK!
And why the Antiguan Black, you want to know;
Because it’s the sweetest in the world. Hello!
It is golden in color,
And this sets it apart, from any other.
If you don’t believe me, then,
Take a trip to Antigua – the Gem of the Caribbean;
The island with a beach, for every day of the year;
You certainly will find the Black Pineapple there.
Once you get a taste of its sweetness,
You surely will be in a sweet mess.
Blue skies, blue sea, white sand,
Succulent Black Pineapple in your hand; 
So heavenly, that’s how you feel;
Pinching yourself, to see if it’s real;
Wishing you could turn your stay
Into a permanent, paradise vacay.
