the apple


by genghis gilgamesh



an apple fell from a tree
and hit adam on the head
eve chased the apple as it rolled away
but adam was dead

a banana was picked from a tree
and loaded on a boat
it got no special treatment
as across the ocean it did float

billy the kid was waiting
when the market opened at dawn
all the bananas were there
but all the cherries were gone

cleopatra liked cherries
and commanded that they be grown
along the banks of the amazon
because the nile had turned to stone
