I like apples
of all different sorts
They make a great snack
when I’m playing sports.
Green apples, crab apples,
red apples, too,
golden delicious,
great from the first chew.
I eat them for breakfast.
I eat them with lunch.
I eat them at dinner.
I eat them at brunch.
Mom says they’re healthy.
I say they’re sweet.
She says they’re sensible
To me they’re a treat.
