Windfall

Yellow's excited. He runs to show Red.
"I've just found an apple as big as my head."

Red laughs out loud and then gives a wee snigger.
"It might be more brainy. It looks a bit bigger."

"Size isn't everything," Yellow explains.
"Apples are fruity, but haven't got brains."

"I was only teasing," says Red, "but its size
and juiciness makes me start thinking of pies."

"Apple pie and hot custard! Delicious!" adds Red.
"I do like a pie that's as big as my head!"

Tiny windfalls from our apple tree take on new dimensions when my bendimen are involved. In fond memory of admirer, Silly Saturday innovator.
