It lay supine on the hot asphalt <br />An Apple with a single bite <br />Still perfect for a hungry mouth <br />Some fat spoilt Western Youth <br />Had thrown it there <br />Yes i was hungry <br />But i cleaned up the bite <br />Washed away the guilt <br />Made my way to the school administration <br />I said one of your students dropped this <br />It is a perfect apple that suffered a hungry bite <br />Could you tell the assembly <br />That a child from Africa handed it in <br />He was hungry but honest <br /> <br />Written Tuesday November 2006<br /><br />allan James saywell<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/an-apple-a-day/
