I Love YoU More Than Applesauce
By Jack Prelutsky
I love you more than applesauce
Than peaches and a plum
Than chocolate hearts
Cherry tarts
And strawberry bubble gum
I love you more than lemonade
And seven layer cake
Than lollipops, candy drops
And thick vanilla shake
I love you more than marzipan
Than marmalade on toast
For I love pies of any size
But I love you the most
