THE APPLE

Eat an apple every day,
is what my mother used to say.
They're packed with healing properties,
to the young and old,
they are nice in hot apple crumble,
for when it's really cold.

If you don't fancy cooking,
simply sit back and relax,
with a pint of home made cider,
fermented from the cask.
The alternative of cider, is apple juice instead,
it's flavour is quite sweet,
so be sure to clean your teeth.

The image of an apple is full of mystery,
from the moment Eve gave one to Adam,
but is that for real, or just a made up history?
In Greek and Roman mythology,
apples represent love and beauty,
I wonder if Cleopatra ate them,
because she was a cutie.
