Now, not to be seedy, but consider the lowly pomegranite. Well red, a fruit to be reckoned with. Nor the grape, which makes some want to wine. Should one look to a raspberry for a comment? Nay, nay, see thou only the queer coconut – for tho it be hairy, it surely is a nut. Spend instead your affection on passionfruit, a tropical romance if there ever was one. <whisling off into the sunset>

The pommegranite is so much more like an apple than a banana is that the French even named at "pomme." Meanwhile the English named something Completely Different a Pineapple. What Pine? What Apple? People ruled by monarchs grow stupid. Eternal gratitude to the American Revolutionaries.
