The RDCA: Poetry

Red delicious: not for me!
by Clare Bates Congdon

In grocery stores all over town
a mealy, tasteless fruit abounds
but strangely, they sell pounds and pounds
of red delicious apples

Its deep red hues shine in the light
attracting those whose tastes are slight
but as for me, no not one bite
of red delicious apples!

Despite this fruit's ubiquity
it's high in mediocrity
a red delicious? not for me
no red delicious apples
