On the Healthy Apple

It’s said the apple’s history goes back to our earliest ancestry when, in a garden, a couple ate one and got us all in trouble. Now, had the apple been arsenic its effect would have been just as tragic, and who but a fool would today say “Arsenic a day keeps the mortician away?”

When I see your name I always think of the lyrics in Steve Miller’s “The Joker” - Maurice is said, then you can hear a whistle…lol. Your poem is clever and funny. Arsenic would have outright killed the human race then who would the devil have to taunt. Blessings to you, my friend!

Good point, Kim, about the devil. However, I can do without the taunting. How about you? / Maurice
