Summer is the season to eat mangoes – yellow, green and red.
Slippery white lychees with bright red coats,
Green, striped and butter yellow watermelons,
Juicy mulberries that burst in the mouth,
Oho! Neema’s hands are all sticky and purple now!

Monsoon is the season to eat corn – yellow, white and purple.
Fresh and juicy sweet limes,
Pineapples with crowns on their heads,
Purple and squishy jamuns,
Oho! Neema’s tongue is all fuzzy and blue!

And it’s cold outside.

Winter is the season for shiny leafy vegetables.
Beetroot, red like the setting sun,
Plump green custard apples.
Look, look, Neema’s climbing up a tree now,
Oho! She’s plucked all the sour, brown tamarinds!
