The Apple Tree Greed
the apple tree greed
the apple tree greed
he has an apple a green apple
he is the only person in this room
with a green apple
suppose suppose NOW
he has MORE of those at home
WHY he has a GREEN APPLE tree
In his backyard no WAIT
He has a vineyard behind his chapeau
And he makes green apple wine
And he sells it to the BOONES FARM people
And they make BOONES FARM green apple wine
And the whole city is soon sick
The children ralf and barf and ralf again
There is no more end to the men
Drinking all the green apple wine
To make this ONE person rich
He never offered me any of his wine
Eyes never drink of alcoholic beverage
Eye have juices and tea and a soda please
I'm just full of good intentions
Picking green apples in my mind and eating way too many
Having a green apple with mye lunch of poetical decay
WAIT he left and YES he took the green apple core with him
Not leaving me a bite not wanting me to taste the pleasure
of his mite. Why eye understand him greedy is his name
the green apple hoarder has so many apples now his wine cellar is so full and
his larders aer so rich he does save the stems and seeds to plant again in
ground so rich and he chews on this green apple while he watches MTV in
selfish hedonistacal revenge while eye have no green apple stuck between my
teeth OH bliss oh strang decay my teeth at least aer happier today he took the
core away he left me all alone im appleless today im happier to say no song is
being sung of little apples of the green variety been hung oh see the tree how big
its grown the apples have been lost too long and they fall in misery from
branches of decay to rot to rot to rot upon the vineyard floor there is no apple wine
no more the green variety is gone they drink it only read and red is the color of the
wine in cups so full of color there in plates so heaped of agony with applesauces
vailiantly piled higher then the sky.
