Fruitful Woes

FRUITFUL WOES A poor young fool set out for school Early one morning With a bagful o' books He lost his way soon And went astray To reach instead An orchard at noon The sun was hot the fruits were sweet He stretched himself Under the shady trees And within no time Snored off to sleep A loud thud sound On his little crown Made him jump With a shriek and frown Groaning in pain Got on to his feet With a heavy step Trudged back to town Seeing him weary with eyes bleary Mom asked what he had learnt Shaken,solemn The fool sagely said, 'An apple a day keeps the doc away Unless it falls on your head' DateAug 28, 2016 Name of contest Just make me laugh
