I had the pleasure of eating my first Pink Lady apple today.

I remembered the Pink Lady was favorably mentioned in a poem.

When I saw them at the grocery store on display.

I thought to myself,  anything called "Pink Lady" .

Has got to be okay!

So,  for a bag of these desireable apples I did pay.

Tart, juicy, and crisp,  just like the discription did say.

But,  comparing apple to apples.

And,  ladies to ladies.

The ones with the darker skin,  are better in every way.

When you think of an apple,  what do you see?

You see the dark "Red Delicious".

The apple all the other apples want to be.
