The Classic Summertime Treat Poem by Bernard F. Asuncion

The classic summertime treat
Is juicy watermelon;
It has health big benefits,
Bringing needed nutrition.

Watermelon is about
Ninety-two percent water;
But this red refreshing fruit
Has nutrients to offer.

Watermelon has a lot
More to provide than sweet taste;
It can help your body thrive
Toward wellness without waste.

The good gains and aids include
Managing diabetes;
The fruit fights free radicals
And periodontal disease.

Wonderful watermelon
Is warm weather favorite;
Such staple at picnics is
The classic summertime treat.
