A Jelly Apple
Today I had a jelly apple –
What a special treat!
My husband bought it just for me
‘Cause he is very sweet.
Atop the jelly, coconut
Was sprinkled, extra nice,
Although the jelly by itself
Would certainly suffice.
The coating on these store-bought types
Is gooey and real soft.
As kids, we would have tasted them
And laughed or even scoffed.
For in my youth, the jelly apple,
Sold in outdoor stands,
Would crackle when you took a bite
(To dentists’ reprimands).
Yet nowadays, I am content
To take what I can get
And my teeth are probably relieved;
My dentist need not fret!
