Today I had a jelly apple –
What
a special treat!
My
husband bought it just for me
‘Cause
he is very sweet.
Atop
the jelly, coconut
Was
sprinkled, extra nice,
Although
the jelly by itself
Would
certainly suffice.
The
coating on these store-bought types
Is
gooey and real soft.
As
kids, we would have tasted them
And
laughed or even scoffed.
For
in my youth, the jelly apple,
Sold
in outdoor stands,
Would
crackle when you took a bite
(To
dentists’ reprimands).
Yet
nowadays, I am content
To
take what I can get
And my teeth are probably relieved;
My dentist need not fret!
