Apple's Day

An Apple a day keeps the doctor away Or so my mother would say My granny said the same To keep the ailments tame A little tummy ache Many times I would fake Immediately mama would stand With an apple in hand A little sniff when weather turned cold Thankfully would keep the school on hold Soon granny would be beside With an apple sliced A heat stroke I would suffer Going out without cover My mama would be near Giving an apple she held dear Both mama and granny would love to say This is an apple’s day, an apple’s day All the sickness would melt If with an apple a child dealt. Inspired by the saying--- An apple a day keeps the doctor away.
