Methuselah's Apple Orchard

*Methuselah’s Apple Orchard* One of the grandest mysteries in the entirety of the heavenlies Is how ole Methuselah grows them apples He has ruby red, McIntosh, and even lady fingers He spends hours upon hours trying to come up with the perfect variety All the patrons of heaven gather at his orchard each and every spring To see what new variety he will bring to those who are interested With all this time on his hands and with all his wealth of knowledge He is the perfect apple inventor on the east side of the heavenlies Once he masters the apple tree then he will venture out on another fruit Rumor has it’s a unique variety of pineapple or perhaps a grapefruit Well, only time will tell what’s in store for ole Methuselah Possibly he’ll come up with a special cider or even a magical apple pie!
