It's All In the Apple-Cation

Jon and Paula are two long-time, firm friends of mine.
Once you get to know their tastes, they both are just fine.

Meet Paula Red, whose bite can sometimes cause you pain
and Jonagold, two treasures from the state of Maine.
Taken in small bites, Jon’s by far the sweeter one;
but Paula makes a pie that is the best bar none.

applesauce
sweet talk comes cheap
bite vs. bark


*Applesauce is an idiom for nonsense or sweet talk.
