Once Upon a Time
ONCE UPON A TIME
Once Upon a Time
While standing in an apple orchard
The little kid was hit on the head
By a falling apple, and
Knocked out cold.
When the kid awoke
All he could see were
Apples, falling apples.
The kid jumped out of his hospital bed
Hit the floor, covered his head,
And rolled around, to avoid those
Falling apples.
The doctors finally had to sedate him.
He kept thrashing and rolling around (to avoid the falling apples).
He seemed uncontrollable.
Everyone at the hospital was frustrated.
They grew tired of the kid and his obvious fear
Of getting hit with falling apples.
They couldn’t reason with him.
Unwilling to take any more of his crap,
The medical professionals
Strapped him in a wheelchair,
Rolled him out into the yard
And sold tickets for people to observe
“The kid with an unnatural fear of
Falling apples.”
One onlooker asked to pay $5.00
For the opportunity to throw an
Apple at the kid and knock him out of his chair.
The hospital made $2,000,000,000.00,
And the kid was mutilated by the apples being thrown at him.
He was turned into Applesauce, and can be seen,
In a jar, on aisle 9 of your favorite grocery market.
You’ll recognize the right jar…it’ll be the one rolling around on the floor.
