I love apples
round and ready
especially Red Delicious
with a crunchy coziness
that surpasses all other
taste and textures.

I don't understand
how they can keep them
in a cool store for long periods
especially when they are so hot
to handle.

I always loved apples
waxed and round
red pointed and pretty

of course you know the old saying
an apple a day keeps the doctor away
now imagine two apples a day!

Apples for me anyway.

OK. Don't throw stones anymore, throw apples!
