The Forbidden Fruit

The Forbidden Fruit
Is bound to be cute
As enticing as it can be

A forbidden tart
May capture your heart
In the blink of an eye, you see

A Forbidden Fruit
Dumps the resolute
Straight down the chute to Hell

And every recruit
Soon learns the route
No need for the ding of a bell

A Forbidden Fruit
has one attribute
That mothers pass on to each child

When mother says, "No!"
Her child will hear, "Go!
'Tis certain to drive Mother wild!"
