Ripe Apples on A Gambling Red Tree
-those who uses vain flair
-like a a cold banana stumps
-to make a healing fire
-often die with the reproach
-of a friendly shocking cold
-and when a man bites
-more than what he can chew
-in the twist of self-ruin
-often, he develops with self-strife
-a sudden swollen sore throat
-deceit sold, is deceit re-gained
-peace of mind dancing softly
-within little dry winds of life
-often better and more better than
-ripe apples on a gambling red tree..
