The Apple of My Eye

Most apples don't fall far from the tree 

Although that's not what happened to me 

In the blink of an eye 

I wound up in a pie

Just one more tart in a bakery 


As a dessert I was quite the boss 

And was peeled with a minimal loss

The rest dropped to the floor 

From the stem to the core

Well at least I wasn't applesauce

Fantastic limerick! You are very talented! Watch out for that tart, that painted “Pink Lady.”

Hi Kim, you know how they say an apple a day keeps the doctor away? Well, so does no insurance. No apple-ause please.
