Apples and Milky Way Bars

Apples and Milky Way candy bars
My idea of eating healthy
Two bites of apple
A giant bite of Milky Way
Bite Bite BITE
Bite Bite BITE

The apples begin to taste sour
But I force myself to eat them
Thinking they will offset
the calories of the Milky Ways

Just four little ones
Yes I am eating four
Teeny tiny ones
Not four of the big ones
My idea of a diet

Gershon Wolf August 12, 2020 at 6:53 PM Ha, ha! How the apples will help, I really don't know. Why don't you just eat the milky way bars until you can't look at another apple! lol. What a diet idea! :) gw Caren Krutsinger August 14, 2020 at 3:35 AM I took your advice and it works. Throwing out those apples now.

Sigrid Ermine August 12, 2020 at 4:50 AM Twelve translate to tasty tid bits! Not so app-ealing apple eating... Caren Krutsinger August 12, 2020 at 6:25 PM The apple gets more sour with each bite of candy.
