Manchineel Apples Gods Toxicity

The Manchineel Tree has been weighing on my mind...
Such a Toxic Tree...........

Its Produces a little Apple... they ripen golden sweet into little  beach apples...and fall in the sand a bit of a temptress ,  watch the children.
The Sap is resinous, milky  sweet tasting I hear,  but not so delicious, I don't think so.

You know old Ponce DeLeon took an arrow in the thigh... that had been coated in the sap...
He Perished... so the history books say... don't park your car under... the sap will blister the paint.

Don't take a nap beneath one... in the enticing shade.... bad vapors........
let alone seek shelter from the rain a poor umbrella , you will be sorry.

A nasty addition to any fruit basket.... they say the apple  is sweet.

So anyway.......... guess what?

There is a path near here... leading to the sea... down along the edge of a 5 star resort... to a glistening beautiful corn starch beach....  to my dismay all the comfy  chase lounges are neatly placed  in a tidy row beneath the Manchineels in the shade... a fair skinned young woman is laying in the beach bed under the Manchineel in a bikini... She looks pretty damn good in that near naked   milky white flesh....... yum yum.

The Security  guard  with his hard baton is standing above her keeping watch over her and a pile of  peoples personal belongings...  upon return after the  lovely stroll down the beach...  I walk pass the Security guard and remark.. es Arbola Manchineel  no?  with frutas delicioso......... he remarks SI....  bueno and laughs.........

I think that is a pretty good deal for $450.00 a night... how about you?   My mind is Blown.

But it is O.K.

Non the less I leave the beach apples laying on the ground alone....  they are not my first choice,  the pale Honey pot laying on the chase lounge beneath the tree...  might well do,  the Security guards laugh fades as the distance between us grows..

I wonder if  her name was Eve?  and if she won the trip on the Wheel of Fortune?

Precious little apples ripened to Golden .   Man   Chin   Eel  Apples  Gods Toxicity.
