Nature's a doctor of rare height,
But cannot a prescription write,
Think, why walnuts are good for brain,
Designed are they to look like brain.
Need there be to guess, nor surmise
Why almonds compared are with eyes,
Cashew nuts are shaped like kidneys,
And drumsticks are good for the knees.
Coconuts for the head and hair,
And your guess is as good and fair,
Beetroots are good for sanguine blood,
And many in mind come to flood.
If lady's fingers come to mind,
Well, I leave it for you to find.

A very humorous write so true in every detail! Walnuts are really good for the body and they look so much like the brain! ! So many things are shaped in such a way that they indirectly speak to us about their purpose.... enhancing life! How ingenious is God in shaping this universe and everything in it! Nature indeed is a great healer and physician! Enjoyed the poem!
Thank you for your observations. As to the last two lines, I spent some twenty four years in Chennai and I picked up that little fact about Lady's finger from the South of which you must be aware.
