Winesap
The medicinal nature of the winesap opens
Its little black bag for you when you
The nutrition-vampire bite it
And your jingle-bell cells thrill
To a pactin-peppered fusillade
With a “Thank you!!” that has
No thought but a smile
..
Without a dictionary (though we have many)
We can guess that whoever bred the first
Winesap, getting that nutrition-
And taste-thrill, may have likened the sensation
To a hearty slug of red wine
And the juiciness, perhaps escaping
A mouth’s confines, was simultaneously likened
To an abundance of sap escaping a tree trunk;
And apple names are marketing tools anyhow
(One of the least delicious varieties
Is called Delicious!!)
And Winesap is a fine elemental choice
For this eminently crisp, sweet
Juice-abundant
Organic
Confection.
Wow, wouldn’t it be medicinal and good
To have one
Just this minute?
