Merliton the Magician


Chayote, Chayote, how I love you so.
When you are replaced by papaya in Tinola,
my heart says no.
You have so many names
and yet they are not quite the same:
Xu Xu and Cho Cho we love you.

The funny thing is that I just confirmed on Wiki the Wikipedia that it is spelled Mirliton rather than Merliton but in this case I think Merliton is spelled fine the way it is.

I bought Juno today!
You are the Xu Xu to my Tinola.
