Clever and fun romp through an esoteric fruit to most. But, you're right. A good organic kumquat juice is a real wake up for slow to get started people of morning sluggishness.

Kumquat, like all other fruits,
it's serving its purpose, they say it's good in candy.
And who knows if the world would be the same without?
Thanks for sharing, Ron!

This irked a bemused smile form me for sure. I love the suggestive fruity stealthy metaphors & innuendos. The poem did as promised in elevating my mood from perhaps a dried-up kumquat to one with a hint of a dribble... Alas!I come grinning after THIS party!

The closest I've come to tasting a kumquat was when someone called me their "little kumquat." Now I think of them as short, stout little fruit. Enjoyed! Rebecca

Yeah. That could be a new dance, Ron. Lol!
Cleverly concocted as usual.
Thank you for the smiles.

I've not ate a kumquat, but many years ago I used to frequent a bar where one of the drinks ingredients used kumquat juice. If I remember right the bartender used kumquat juice, lime and vodka or some such mixture like that. Never trust an old memory unless you write it down. Please don't quote me. A pretty good humorous poem. Bob

Piquant humor with lingering afterthought: just the way you wrote it, Ron. Worth your toast and, I hope, mine in return!

Yes, a kumquat is definitely what the doctor ordered to start my day. Now where is the darn thing? John

I've never tasted a kumquat, and doubt I'd appreciate its sour taste.

Well, Ron, I decided to read this poem kumquat may...and...may I say it?...wasn't at all disappointed by the fruits of your poetic labor. In fact, my Chinese wife has several varieties (including the round ones and the oblong ones that are slightly more bitter) in our back yard from which she makes drop-dead Kumquat jams & chutneys.

I think I'll have a slice of bread with some Kumquat jam on it now, matter of fact, as I reread your brief tome to the delightful Kumquat.

So... what I see in the subtext: Inviting people to get out of their numbing routines, break down the walls around them, expand their horizons of creativity, make a new friend, and try something new. Dragon fruit, Persimmon, Loquat, Jackfruit, Lychee, Ugli fruit, Passion fruit, Gooseberry, Longan, Guava, Jujube, Pomelo, Pomegranate, and your Kumquat, though all yummy, remain mysteries to many. Funny stuff. r

It's been awhile,
since I've had a kumquat.
But after reading your delicious poem,
I think that a kumquat would hit the spot.

Never had a kumquat to my knowledge, but I imagine I would like it. I
love the taste of lime, so why not kumquat?
