AN APPLE A DAY KEEPS THE DOCTOR AWAY                                                                                                      WHICH IS FINE FOR THE CRISP DAYS OF FALL

BUT WHAT ABOUT DURING THE SUMMER?                                                                                                    WHICH FRUIT KEEPS OUR HEALTH ON THE BALL?

WHEN YOUR TEMPERATURE’S UP, IN JUNE OR JULY                                                                                                ON WHAT SUMMER TREAT WILL YOU CALL?

CAN YOU GET HELP FROM A MELON?                                                                                                                  “BOUT A CHANCE IN A MILLION IS ALL

LIFE MAY BE A BOWL FULL OF CHERRIES                                                                                                              BUT THEY WON’T HELP YOUR HEART SHOULD IT STALL

THOUGH PEACHES AND PEARS ARE QUITE LOVELY                                                                                                                THEY CAN'T MEND YOUR BONES IF YOU FALL

ALAS!  THOSE POOR FRUITS OF SUMMER                                                                                                              AS PHARMACY, MAYBE THEY’RE SMALL

BUT IF APPLES WERE IN, ALL THE YEAR ROUND                                                                                                        A TERRIBLE THING WOULD BEFALL

IF APPLES WERE 24/7                                                                                                                                            THOSE POOR DOCS WOULD HAVE NO WORK AT ALL!
