An apple a day
June 4, 2024
An apple a day keeps the doctor away,
unless your aim is bad. He might feel
under the weather, but you’ll be over the moon.
What happens when you count your eggs after they’ve cracked?
It is a curse, or perhaps
a blessing in a bottle?
Do the cracked eggs simply disappear,
or do they wind up somewhere?
Conceivably, they may be in cake batter.
I’m doubling the recipe
so I can have mine and eat it too.
Birds of a feather shed together, but don’t bank on that
Lest you miss three with two stones
and your doctor still has a headache.
