Mamee

I like the color and taste of mamee

Not many fruits have an orange color on the inside

Like pumpkin which makes your eyes bright

But I have come to realize that the fruit is more complex

The skin reminds me of leather

The shape and size of the fruit also make me think of the calabash

I know the calabash is important in Guyanese culture

Mamee is more important for health reasons
