The $400 Pineapple*

Del Monte met with plant breeders
And told them, “Create something new”
Their product, a brand new pineapple
Possessing a very red hue

“That’s it!” said the corporate tower
“It’s just what the market demands”
The marketing geniuses huddled
And declared, “This is worth many clams”

Four hundred’s the number they settled on
To be charged for each ruby red fruit
So the company now is recruiting
Fools with an excess of loot
