'Apples to Apples'

'Apples to Apples'
 

by Seah Greenhorn
(Poem with copyright)

'As apples to apples'
made

this simple comparison.

Yet,
difficult to impossible
for one
to make the final grade

as exist

7500 varieties 
from a generosity of His hand
to every child, woman and man.

Such a multitude of tiny seeds
to grow and expand into flowered trees.

Such deep appreciation
we need

for apples grand and delicious

worldwide
across international lands.

Red and gold
yellow and green
size of a cherry or grapefruit seen

Of sun and rain.
In sheer magnificence

Squeal
children in delight
bobbing their heads
in playful innocence.

Blessed
Mankind.

Yes we are!
Individually valued.

Useful
in far too many means
to really comprehend.

With sauces,
pies, fitters

and so much more

Eternity
is necessary
for us to employ

this creation
with it's sweet juices.

So 'apples to apples'
that well-known phrase
needs to be

replaced

Since comparisons
Do
others shade.
