The Fruit and Vege Vender

Fruit and vege's is my job.
I could sell you a cucumber for half a bob.
If it's apples and oranges your interested in.
I'd just get some out'a the bin.
I could show you fruit from the other side of the earth.
Fruit so strange it would never grow in this turf.
If i was asked i could tell you about it's history.
Except the 'gwanda pear',well thats still a bit of a mystery.
Most of my customers i know's by name.
They all know me, but thats not a shame.
We talks about things far and wide.
When they are stuck for choices, i help them decide.
Some people look like the fruit and veges i tender.
I associate them with it if their names i can't remember.
It's been good talking to you,i'll let you get away.
Theirs a queue behind you.So i'll see you another day.
