Apple-Knocker

The right brain in his sophistication addressed the Left Brain.

“What do you want?” Left Brain replied,

Dressed in his overalls with the legs rolled up to his shin

And wearing his favorite baseball cap.

The right brain laughed,

“Why you dressed like that.

You need to make yourself more presentable.”

The left brain looked at him,

“Listen to you Mr. Uppity.”

The right brain in all his sophistication,

“You’re nothing but an apple-knocker.”

The left brain looked agitated,

“I ain’t no apple knocker.

I ain’t never in my whole life knocked on an apple.

It might make the worm come out.

What’s an apple-knocker anyway?”

The right brain looked at the left-brain

With his chest puffed out,

“An apple-knocker is you,

You’re nothing but a Gomer.”

The left brain scratched his head,

“Hmmm, I gotta think about that one.

Is that better than being an apple-knocker?”
