Watermelon Time

Now watermelon time is here.
And when the day 
Is warm and clear,
Our uncle thumps 
The green balloon
And says it's ripe
And very soon
A splash of pink 
Comes into view.
We know exactly 
What to do.
We take a bit.
We take a bite.
We eat and eat 
And taste the summer,
Pink and sweet.
