Apples

He was like an organic apple

lying on a copy of Vanity Fair.

Sandy enjoyed any apple

as long as it was red,crisp

and unblemished.

She ate them with sharp cheddar cheese

while sitting down with a glass of Merlot

and a copy of The Sun in her hands.

Her friends wanted her to give this guy a try,

this organic specimen before her.

He's different,

they assured her,

he's polished,comes from good stock,

has superior taste.

But she found out that even organics

have blemishes,and this one

had been nibbled on before,

and his stem was nothing

to brag about. In the end

she wasn't willing to pay

a high price for an ordinary apple,

especially since she found out

the magazine he was lying on

was his wife.
