The shiny apple,
Made my stomach growl with hunger,
But as I reached for the treat,
It leaped of the counter!
It skidded around a chair,
And flew to the mantel,
Then, once it had finally stopped,
My heart had started to drop.
The apple was about to fall into the fire!
If I didn’t act fast,
The consequences would be dire!
I sprinted to the fire place,
Just as the apple dropped in.
After that traumatic experience,
I’ll never eat apples again.
