II l0athc, abhor, deteet, despisc,
Abominate dricd-applc pies;
I like good bread, like good meat,
Or anything that's good to eat,
But oi all poor grub beneath the skies,
The poorest IL dried apple pies,
Give me the toOthache or sore eyes,
But don't give me dried apple pics,
The farmer takes bis gnarlicst fruit,
Tis wormy, bitter and bard 10 boot,
They leave the husks and make me cough
They don't take half the pccling oil,
Then on dirty cord 'tB strung
: And there IL serves rOogt for tiies,
Until it's made up into pies,
Tread Oh my corns aud tell me lies,
But don't pass me dried apple pies"
