In the infancy of spring,
An apple orchard raid.
The trees are bearing blossoms,
Teeming with fruit;
Some ripe ones on the ground.
The gang, excited and well-prepared.
Jimmy is up one tree
Shaking the branches
As apples fall every which way.
Apples here, apples there,
Apples everywhere!
His friends get busy picking them up.
There's more than enough
To fill up all the buckets and bowls
"Jimmy, try one, they taste so good!,"
Exclaimed one of the pickers.
"Not now, they must be washed first!,"
Replies Jimmy.
They go tree to tree
Plucking low hanging apples.
Oh, the varieties! The varieties!
Granny Smiths,
Twenty Ounces,
Rubyfrosts,
Yorks,
Galas,
Golden Delicious....
Yummy looking apples!
Lots and lots of collected apples
To be enjoyed!
