Never give all your apples

My poem was inspired by the poem Never give all the heart by William Butler Yeats. I took his idea of not wanting to give something away and the consequences that would occur if you did and made a satire.

Never give all the heart:

Never give all the heart, for love

Will hardly seem worth thinking of

To passionate women if it seem

Certain, and they never dream

That it fades out from kiss to kiss;

For everything that's lovely is

But a brief, dreamy, kind delight.

O never give the heart outright,

For they, for all smooth lips can say,

Have given their hearts up to the play.

And who could play it well enough

If deaf and dumb and blind with love?

He that made this knows all the cost,

For he gave all his heart and lost.

My Poem:

Never give all your apples, for good

You'll never be thinking you should

To hungry poor children so sweet

Certain, and they would never eat

That it hurts some from day to day

For all that is juicy I pray

Is a cool, crunchy, kind delight.

O never give your apples outright,

For they, for all poor souls can say

Have given their apples up to the play

And who could eat with upright head

If full and rich and plump with red?

He that gave it knows all the loss,

For he lost all his apple sauce.
