Granny’s got a coring knife;
\nShe carves a pretty core.
\nBut kids in Macoun County know
\nWhat coring knives are for.<\/p>\n
“Taking fruit that’s on the ground,”
\nThey say with flashlit chins,
\n“Is safe–but pluck it from the tree
\nAnd Granny does you in!<\/p>\n
She quarters you and peels you raw
\nAnd masticates your eyes!
\nShe mashes into kindersauce
\nWhatever isn’t pies!<\/p>\n
Abstinence is safety, friends–
\nAvoid the deadly cores.
\nWe’ll stay alive if we maintain
\nA diet of s’mores.”<\/p>\n
(Granny knows that all of this
\nIs simply superstitious.
\nThe only things she’s ever cored
\nWere bright and red, delicious.)<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
