Apple Season
Pick a bag of apples
Or a bushel or a peck.
Drink some apple cider -
Have a gallon, what the heck!
Bake an apple pie and serve it,
Warm and a la mode.
Bite a jelly apple -
Feel its crunchy shell implode.
Make an apple cobbler
Or pan dowdy or a cake;
Sweets prepared with apples
Never taste like a mistake.
Sip some apple brandy
Or imbibe some apple jack;
They possess the flavor
Other liquors seem to lack.
Celebrate the season
Of this crispy, tangy fruit.
It's clear why Eve in Eden
Would accept no substitute!
