DRIED APPLE PIES

I loathe, abhor, detest, despise
Abominate dried apple pies!
I like good bread, I like good meat,
Or anything that's fit to eat:
But of all poor grub beneath the skies
The poorest is dried apple pies.

Give me a toothache or sore eyes
In preference to such kind of pies.

The farmer takes his gnarliest fruit
The wormy, bitter, and hard to boot,
They leave the hulls to make you cough
And don't take half the peeling off
Then on a dirty cord they're strung
And from some chamber window hung
And there they serve a roost of flies
Until they're ready to make pies.

Tread on my corns or tell me lies,
But don't pass me dried apple pies.
