This is a tale, or rather, short story, <br /> of two Apple sisters named Seedy and Corey. <br /> <br /> One day Corey thought it would be grand <br /> If they entered a craft show, everything made by hand; <br /> So diligently they labored, burning the midnight oil., <br /> Dreaming of how rich they'd be with profits from their toil. <br /> Why, Seedy thought Corey was gonna get spastic, <br /> So relentlessly she stitched that plastic !!! <br /> They both had visions of how their bank accounts would grow <br /> As they continued to cite the patterns and sew; <br /> But a funny thing happened when they finally made some dough... <br /> It's amazing how fast cash really can flow! <br /> On the way to the bank...they stopped at the mall, <br /> And Seedy said "Let's get a lottery ticket ... winner take all." <br /> Well, Corey very willingly agreed to this, of course, <br /> But she also added, "Save some for a horse! <br /> The Kentucky Derby is in a day or two <br /> And I'll be glad to place a bet for you!" <br /> So away their money did fly, alas alac; <br /> Part for the lottery, and part for the track! <br /> Now both their bank accounts show what's left <br /> By a little pink notice of N S F! <br /> But you just can't keep two good kids down! <br /> There's another craft show coming to town! <br /> And Carey and Seedy, with a wink and a grin, <br /> Get out the plastic canvas and start over again!<br /><br />Joyce Horovitz<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/the-apple-sisters/
