Notes About The Poem

I'M No Longer Feeling Fruity

My apple contained half a worm
This really made my tummy churn
I’d devoured one half
It sure made me barf
In future an apple I’ll spurn

LOL, yes, finding half a maggot's worse than finding a whole maggot! Had a chuckle at this - Whisky M would have just gone on munching

very funny but as usual it's so odd for me how you guys rhyme half with barf!!!

I have found out another word that has such a different meaning to the Brits, must make a poem from it lol:-) Yes we do have great difference in our pronunciation of certain words:-) hugs Jan xx

Lol...don't let one bad apple spoil all the others! In some countries you don't get worms for free; you pay for them:) Hugs // paul

I’m glad it’s fictional. How sad life would be without apples or Apple pie. Hugs Rick.

Ha ha, Jan. when I was at school we had a joke.., ‘What’s worse than finding a worm in your apple?’ Answer? ‘Finding half a worm.’ You’ve lived the dream, er, joke. Terry
