Color: Granny Smith Apple Green


Granny Smith


The apple stands alone
All that it needs to be complete
A package of flavor, health, snappiness
Perseverance

Makes me wonder about the Granny for whom this apple was named.
Bet she was spry, clever, industrious
Surrounded by a fresh glowing green aura
A granny anyone would be proud to name and claim
Fresh tongued and crispy witted
Granny Smith
Salt of the Earth
(with a little pepper too)
