For the Love of Fruits
Make them part of your daily diet
I love my fruits.
They are blessings
to humankind—
so many flavors
to choose from!
Full of antioxidants
and dietary fibers,
they are nutritious.
I forage, grow,
and buy them
because they are
a delight to the senses.
They are what
our system loves—
since our ancestors’ time,
fruits have been part
of our natural diet.
Choose your fruits.
Eat them fresh—
for the preservatives-laced
dry fruits are dangerous.
I’ve learned about
all the local plants,
so I pick
the seasonal abundance.
Be that feijoas or passion fruits
Loquats or prickly pears
It hurts to see so much
rot away—
because people are unaware.
Want continuous health?
Make fruits
a regular part
of your diet.
Do you love your fruits? You should, if you don't already.

'20/20'
"Do It Again" the track that would ultimately open the Beach Boys final album on Capitol Records which was released on February 10th 1969 had originally been released as a single in August of 1968. The track was the first of many post-Pet Sounds era throwbacks to the early Beach Boys sound which would become continually more cliched and eventually lead the Beach Boys to the level of self-parody they would eventually succumb to in the 1980s while their closest contemporaries The Beatles nearing the end of their run in 1969 would go on to be viewed as the most influential band of all time. However, the song itself is not bad on its surface, and it opens with a futuristic sounding (for 1969) drumbeat captured by then-Beach Boys engineer Stephen Desper using tape delays on the drums performed by Dennis Wilson and John Guerin. The song has been re-recorded numerous times over the years on various Beach Boys-related projects most notably the 2011 re-recording at Capitol studios featuring the five surviving Beach Boys at the time backed instrumentally by various members of both the Brian Wilson Band and Mike Loves touring "Beach Boys" to promote the then upcoming Beach Boys 50th Anniversary reunion tour in 2012. The hammering and power drill sound at the end of the song was an excerpt from a track called "Workshop" that was to be a part of the uncompleted "SMiLE" album.

An inspiring poem and a great motivation to fall in love with fruits ❤️ Well done, Seema~
Good job. I am a person who loves all kinds of fruits and vegetables that are fresh, and home grown if possible, from apples to pears to oranges, lemons, limes and grapefruit and all kinds really.
