Home Grown Apple

juicy and fine red and round a bit of water in its stem well the teacher expresses appreciation the child is thrilled the fruit sits on the desk with pride the leaf indicates a fresh pick Not from a store They ruin the leaves The teacher takes a bite Curious and to compare She is not disappointed
