It's all about navels.


Don't like what you see? Come back later, it will be different!

In the orchard, bright and sunny,
Lives a fruit, so sweet and funny,
Navel oranges, golden hue,
Let me sing a rhyme for you.

Round and plump, with navels neat,
Hidden treasures, oh, so sweet,
Beneath the peel, a juicy prize,
In citrus groves where sunshine lies.

Navel oranges on the tree,
Swinging gently, wild and free,
Ripening in the summer's grace,
In the orchard's sweet embrace.

Pick them ripe, with tender care,
Their fragrance fills the summer air,
A burst of flavor, pure delight,
In every bite, a sunny sight.

Slice them thin or peel with glee,
A healthy treat for you and me,
Navel oranges, nature's gift,
A tasty, juicy, wholesome lift.

So let us sing, both young and old,
Of navel oranges, we're told,
In orchards where they brightly shine,
A sweet delight, a fruit divine.

In baskets full or fruit bowls grand,
Navel oranges, take my hand,
Let's enjoy this golden prize,
Beneath the sunlit, azure skies.
