Organic Apple

I shop for fruit in stores with lots of signs that say

They sell organic food from pesticide-free ground.

I've heard that food is healthier when it's grown that way.

Although the cost is more the logic does seem sound.

But today I bought an apple and when first I took a bite

I was shocked to see a worm in the middle of my stare,

And even worse than that most disturbing sight

Was to find that only half the worm was there.

With anger and distress I was utterly aghast,

Feeling nauseous almost to the point of panic.

But those unpleasant feelings very quickly passed

When I realized the worm had also been organic.
