Apples Are Free

Pickin' some apples atop of a tree, I love it best when apples are free. To Johnson's farm, the forbidden fruit, A pounding heart, I fear the old coot. A posted sign says, stay out of here! Apples are calling, no time for fear. Farmer came runnin' shotgun in hand, I could not see him through leaves that span. Enemy closes, he lets out a shout, A race for the fence, a blast rings out. Pellets of rock salt stinging my hide, Apples aren't free, the price was my pride
