Methuselah's Apple Orchard
*Methuselah’s Apple Orchard*
One of the grandest mysteries in the entirety of the heavenlies
Is how ole Methuselah grows them apples
He has ruby red, McIntosh, and even lady fingers
He spends hours upon hours trying to come up with the perfect variety
All the patrons of heaven gather at his orchard each and every spring
To see what new variety he will bring to those who are interested
With all this time on his hands and with all his wealth of knowledge
He is the perfect apple inventor on the east side of the heavenlies
Once he masters the apple tree then he will venture out on another fruit
Rumor has it’s a unique variety of pineapple or perhaps a grapefruit
Well, only time will tell what’s in store for ole Methuselah
Possibly he’ll come up with a special cider or even a magical apple pie!
