AN APPLE FOR THE TEACHER
There was a teacher I liked best.
I placed an apple upon her desk.
It was a shiny bright red Rome.
But a big fat worm called it "Home"

She saw it poke it's head out to spy.
Then, we all heard her frantic cry.
She let that worm know who was boss,
When she turned the apple into applesauce.

Hear the breaking of the luminous skin?
