The MacIntosh is “Oh my gosh,”
The loveliest of fruit,
If Adam ponders at its wonders,
Who can blame the brute?

I don’t see trouble in the rubble,
Just a pail of yum,
The sneaky nibbles taste like kibbles,
Hope no one will come.

You shouldn’t cheat, you shouldn’t eat,
Those apples that are picked.
But never fear, I’ll stay right here,
And then I won’t get nicked.

I just don’t care, I’m on a dare,
These apples are so good,
And anyhow, it’s too late now,
To stop me if you could.

So juicy sweet is apple meat,
It runs right down my throat,
Why don’t you grab a little dab?
And don’t just stand remote.

Come on and join, and let’s purloin,
Another tasty treat,
We’ll get right down onto the ground,
The flavour can’t be beat.

I’m in the mood to not be rude,
And spoil the missus’ work,
You go ahead, but filled with dread,
You’ll see you’ve been a twerk.

You make me feel like such a heel,
I thought you’d have some too.
I feel so bad, now don’t be mad,
My actions I do rue.

I hope you’ve learned, a page you’ve turned,
Those Macs were not for you,
Your ear is floppy, tongue is soppy,
Learn from what you do.

Writing, travel, photography, nature, more writing....

Thank you, John. I stole some older pictures for this post; that’s why Ruby is on them. But we do still have Emma.

For sure it does. But I’m glad I have lots of photos of Ruby. She was a monster puppy but turned out to be one of the best.

It is nice to see Ruby, she also was a good girl and I loved her too. Your poem is fun to read and the pictures of the apple thief and Ruby are very nice.

So cute. To have temptation so near must have been too much. Dogs do love apples. Happy Saturday Anneli. Allan

Emma had fun, and we could easily spare an apple or two. Have a nice weekend, Allan.

There are always some falling off the trees and it’s a race to see who gets them first, the rabbits, the dog, or the people.
