Species apart are oranges and apples <br />Yet they’re frequently compared <br />In illogical grapples <br /> <br />The apple believes it’s so very incredible <br />That the peel of the orange <br />Is so very inedible <br /> <br />The orange knows with out any doubt <br />Where citrus is king <br />The apple’s left out <br /> <br />Apples have colors, red yellow and green <br />While the orange is hued only <br />With an orange-y sheen <br /> <br />Apple sauce is pleasantly tasteful <br />But sauce from an orange would be <br />Tastefully wasteful <br /> <br />Apples and oranges should not be compared <br />But joined in fruit salads <br />With their flavors well shared <br /> <br />Their fruity comparison leads logic astray <br />Comparing apples and oranges <br />Good judgements betray<br /><br />Stanley Cooper<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/apples-and-oranges/
