An Apricot's Vengeance

by DragonSkulls

         
          I heard the horrors in the store
          and if it's true, you've started war.
          Some friends of mine, from few I've got
          were marked in price before they'd rot.
          "You won't be bought." That's what I swore.

          I can't forget and won't ignore
          the day you lugged them out the door.
          Now I'm one pissed off apricot.
          I heard the horrors.

          A sharpened knife pulled from a drawer
          sliced deep their flesh and took their core.
          They died for pie...then some forgot.
          But heed these words, for I will not.
          So watch your back forever more.
          I heard the horrors.

It actually took me a lot more time creating this ridiculous
picture than it did writing this ridiculous poem. Lol. Thanks
for reading.
