Tom Brown Tracks Down Apple Varieties

His name was Tom, he was an engineer. This was not his calling, it is amazingly clear. He stumbled upon apples at a market one day. And he said “listen to me, right away!” There are lost apples, people have not eaten for a hundred years. I am going to find them, and raise them up, in these mountain clears. Arkansas blacks, and Rusty Coats that are soft like pears. Sweet as honey, they will attract all kinds of bears. Mr. Brown has an orchard, and he is a super sleuth. He has tracked down many varieties, this is the truth. An elderly lady led him to the very last Junaluska apple tree. He now can grow them as well as the Cherokee. Tom Brown, you are a hero, for your avocation. We apple pie baking folks are glad you live in our nation. Thank you for rescuing the Grimes Golden sweets. That they taste of nutmeg is rather neat!
