And It all began with. . . . . The HYMN! Hymn to the Dancing Fruits of the Sky Glorious Creations, descending from the hallowed sky, Glorious creations, in a majestic halo of light Colors of the rainbow that you eat Colors of the rainbow, a tasty treat All praise the Dancing Fruits! All praise their mystical powers! Dancing fruits, pump us full of sugar Dancing fruits, pump us full of vitamins All hail the orange and the cherry! All hail the banana and the raaspberry! Dancing fruits, made into pies and candy Dancing fruits, made into yogurt and jelly Lemons and limes, all nature's candy Pineapples and peaches, all nature's candy Oh thank thee, dancing fruits, for being so yummy! Oh thank thee, dancing fruits, for being so juicy! Oh thank thee, dancing friuts, for being so sweet! Oh thank thee, dancing fruits for coming from the sky!

This was supposed to be an african chant, which explains why it contains various literary divices such as repitition and stuff.
