Writing Prompt
Write a Cinquain poem (2-4-6-8-2) about a summer fruit. Funny, sad, mouth-watering, whatever you like.

Author Notes
This Asian fruit is probably the most delicious I have eaten. Unfortunately, the flesh has a very strong lingering sulphurous odour reminiscent of rotting meat. Many oriental taxi drivers ban them from their vehicles and have a sticker on the windscreen with a picture of a durian traversed by a diagonal red line.
Old Nick: a folk name for the Devil.
