I am a single word, though I wear a coat of many colors.
As a sport, I am just too hectic
Exactly the recipe for the sporting and energetic.
But as a verb there's no escaping me
When collapsing into a soft and comfortable settee.
Apply that verb to a juicy fruit and I name the drink
In a tall, cool glass, which all would readily sink.
As a weaning infant you may have consumed me
Appearing as a noun in a mashed, digestible recipe.
I symbolize a time of fear, but not of pain.
I foolishly grin, though no knowledge can I hope to gain.
From seasonal eyes that totally fail to see
As you enlighten my head after you have enlightened me.
What in the world am I?
