An apple a day keeps the doctor away
An orange an hour makes your skin smell sour
A grape a minute means you’re in it to win it
A lemon a week makes you humble and meek
A lime at nine makes you feel divine
A mango a year keeps the ears clear
A banana a fortnight helps you stand upright
A peach at four is good for the pores
A date at eight makes the day great
A plum once a season gives you insight and reason
A melon in March is a year’s worth of starch
A kiwi in spring means you’re in for great things
Eat berries in May for a string of great days
