A VERY IMPORTANT APPLE
You mean that by my taking a bite,
there's no turning back,
I've shaped the sin of the world?
Who would have thought
this succulent fruit,
whose sap has trickled down my chin,
a syrupy residue laced
with purity, and oozing
towards my bosom,
would mark me
as the first offender?
Can it be, Mr.S,
the bite you enticed me to nibble,
plunged creation into vanity,
where all's over at the start,
all's conceit, and
I'm doomed
to a life of repentance?
A simple desire for a treat
did all that, you say?
Not fair, not fair!
I didn't know you'd change an apple
into a metaphor.
