don’t be afraid of this king of fruit

don't be afraid of this king of fruit
spiky, looks threatening outside, yet
creamy, sweet and delicate inside.

try ! It's odour will
make you forever love it,
miss it when it's gone, or
you'll hate it to your core,
reject it like your pimple.

be a lover, be a hater, whatever
just remember do not linger
under its mother, or else
your head'll seriously injured

(these spiky fruits, durians tend to fall off the tree when they're ripe. ouch!)
