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.
