Curly Cashews


That’s what it said on the packet,

‘curly cashews’.

But right now,

I would like a straight cashew

for a change,

had enough of those that are curly.

So I asked

in the Health food shop.

I asked in several Health Food shops.

Some very strange looks were forthcoming,

but no straight cashews.

I don’t give up easily.

I searched on Google.

Perused Amazon.

Lots of cashews,

but in the photos all were curly.

Looks like I will have to become a plant breeder,

a hybridiser to satisfy this need,

fast becoming an obsession,

for a cashew that has no curl or curve.

I believe someone has developed a straight banana,

so in time, who knows what there will be.
