Apple Pickin' Time

Pick those crisp, red McIntoshs, And warm some caramel for dippin', Pick those green Granny Smiths, And heat some cider for sippin'. It's time for apple pickin', Down on the rural farm, And Halloween treat or trickin', With some rustic country charm. From the beginning of September, To the last day of November, We will be gone apple pickin', Makin' fun moments to remember. Pick those crisp, red McIntoshs, And warm some caramel for dippin', Pick those green Granny Smiths, And heat some cider for sippin'. None of you will be sobbin', Cause right before your eyes, There's a game of apple bobbin', And some homemade apple pies. Written for Isaiah Zerbst's contest - "Apple Pickin' Time"

Another great job, Kelly. It reminds me of cotton pickin' time in Texas... back when I was a kid. My sister and her hubby followe the pickers all season... That was back in the depression and any kind of work was welcome...... Love ya .... Jake
