Neil . Pasricha August 11, 2026 Poems 'The Orange' by Wendy Cope Neil . Pasricha August 11, 2026 Poems Hey everyone,See if this little poem gives you a smile like it did for me. It’s one of many funny, strange poems in the book ‘Serious Concerns’ by Wendy Cope.Neil The Orange by Wendy CopeAt lunchtime I bought a huge orange—The size of it made us all laugh.I peeled it and shared it with Robert and Dave—They got quarters and I had a half. And that orange, it made me so happy,As ordinary things often doJust lately. The shopping. A walk in the park.This is peace and contentment. It’s new. The rest of the day was quite easy.I did all the jobs on my listAnd enjoyed them and had some time over.I love you. I’m glad I exist.
