The apple-tree
Is not to me
A thing of special joy:
It did deceive my mother Eve,
And often pain her boy.
And as to her,
I must aver
I've had a mind to chide her
When, racked with pain,
I've wished in vain
My apples were in cider.

Not to make something out of nothing but wasn't it a 'fig-tree' and not an 'apple tree' that was in the Garden of Eden? I may be wrong, but I believe it's a 'fig-tree'. Yeah, I just looked, it's a 'pear-shaped' fruit .. apples aren't 'pear-shaped' Pear's are pear shaped.
I guess 'apple' just sounds better. I mean, don't get me wrong, it's a nice ditty, has a nice limerick rhyme to it, and is humorous, but you'd think a Priest of all people would know.
