Fruit of the Vine

Coffee Mugg

If you stay in the orchard long enough,

You will eat of the fruit.

Just make sure it is the edible kind.

For indulging when you shouldn't,

Could mean the apples are rotten.

    When an apple is rotten, it is visually unappealing, thus one can see that something is wrong with it, and has a sour taste, something we should know by instinct when the fruit is not as it should be......... two important points one would have to consider, before consuming fruit from an orchard.......... This piece is thought provoking, it gave me food for thought, ( no pun intended ) perhaps it is a core problem.......... This is Good writing, and Good advice Ken, Thank you +*+*+* ~ PEACE ~
