Shiny Apples
Shiny red apples
Perfect in form
Are only found
In the grocery store
Never oh never
Growing on your tree
Real life is
Nothing like that
Small and green
With little red
This is how
Real life is
Perfection sought
Is rarely found
And makes us think
Something is wrong
Looking for something
That is mostly not there
We over look the real
Around us everywhere
Apples to pick
Are easy to find
Taste just as good
Are just as fine
