One Bad Apple Spoils the Bunch

Belinda Richmond 1979 (Chicago)



Some people not All,
have very bad behavior
It Encourages others
to have misbehavior

Some people carry a
 Negative Demeanor
To the point Positive
people are influenced
to become meaner

This is a intuition but
 more like a Hunch
 That one Bad Apple
 Spoils the whole Bunch

It simply refers to someone
who creates problems,
Get rid of that Rotten Apple
And that will solve them

Remember these words
 and take it to Mind
Those Rotton old Apples
aren't so very kind

Beware of Rotten Apples
 just trust your Hunch That
 One Rotten Apple
will Spoil the Whole Bunch
