Succulent salsa

Dicing juicy tomatoes
swollen, ripe and red
Perfect for anyone
aching to be fed

Aromatic bright limes
rinsed well and wiped clean
Chopping cilantro, jalapenos,
onions, and peppers green

Juicing half the lime
provides a little tang
Mincing in fresh garlic
tantalizing the palates of my gang

Just a teaspoon of cumin
augmenting fragrance and taste
Lastly salt and pepper
Insures no salsa goes to waste
