Just playing with words on a Saturday evening and thinking about the differences in fruit and naturally people. Combined the two of them, wanted to try something new for the fun of it.

What is the difference between an apple,orange pear and a banana?

Not that much except they are all fruit and have many different colors.

Now I have your attention this piece isn’t about the fruit in the tittle,

Its all about the differences that can be found in human population.

*****

Wouldn’t it be horrible if we all had to be blond with sky blue eyes?

Or even a brunette with brown hair and brown or even green eyes?

How about a stunning red head with eyes the color of an emerald?

Or  even a darker colored person of any origin with dark brown eyes?

******

Be a serious person who never smiled or has no sense of humor?

Or be the life of the party and posses a fantastic sense of humor?

Our resident comedian on Triond comes to mind as I write this,

but there are more then him so I am not going to give any names.

*****

What if all of us had copper colored skin and almond shaped eyes?

Or we had to be dark like the midnight hours and have black eyes?

If we all had to look exactly like everyone else there is a huge problem,

there would be no telling the other apart because we all looked alike.

*****

But lucky for us this is not the case and we have a huge variety ,

people of all shapes, sizes, colors, beliefs and even customs exist.

Put us all together and we make an interesting world to exist in,

much like the bowl with the apple,orange,pear and banana in it.

    A lovely analogy between fruit and humankind, Payge. By the way, I’m the one on the top of the compost heap!

    An interesting write. This reminded me of the Stepford wives. It would be so boring if we were all the same.

    A fruity little piece this Roxanne and how right you are, They (Fruits) all have their characters from wholesome bananas to fleshy Oranges, I could just feel the freshness of a melon as I read it. Life would be boring if we didn’t have a difference.

    Well Done
