Another apple, on a tree Of well-defined variety. It's fed and watered as you grow To swell and ripen. Thus they know That you will taste as all expected...... |
......A core upon the plate, rejected. Do not despair, life will succeed. In every fruit there is a seed. An apple never does breed true; A pip will root, and you'll be you. |
