Once Upon a Time

ONCE UPON A TIME Once Upon a Time While standing in an apple orchard The little kid was hit on the head By a falling apple, and Knocked out cold. When the kid awoke All he could see were Apples, falling apples. The kid jumped out of his hospital bed Hit the floor, covered his head, And rolled around, to avoid those Falling apples. The doctors finally had to sedate him. He kept thrashing and rolling around (to avoid the falling apples). He seemed uncontrollable. Everyone at the hospital was frustrated. They grew tired of the kid and his obvious fear Of getting hit with falling apples. They couldn’t reason with him. Unwilling to take any more of his crap, The medical professionals Strapped him in a wheelchair, Rolled him out into the yard And sold tickets for people to observe “The kid with an unnatural fear of Falling apples.” One onlooker asked to pay $5.00 For the opportunity to throw an Apple at the kid and knock him out of his chair. The hospital made $2,000,000,000.00, And the kid was mutilated by the apples being thrown at him. He was turned into Applesauce, and can be seen, In a jar, on aisle 9 of your favorite grocery market. You’ll recognize the right jar…it’ll be the one rolling around on the floor.
