I never liked apples:
They're too sweet
For my taste.

I much prefer oranges
With their zest
And their sting.

I'll even take kiwis:
Acidic,
Exotic.

But apples
Just bore me.

I'm not Eve or Adam
I don't care to know;

I'm not scared of doctors,
Don't care for a cure.

I don't trust too easy
Like Snow White once did,

So what lesson do apples
Have in store for me?
