ON THE OCCASION OF GOING VISITING ON THANKSGIVING DAY

As the years go by

I

Become more fond of pie.

(Apple, pumpkin, cherry,

Rhubarb, or blueberry,

Strawberry…

Even gooseberry…)

The fruity sweetness.

The crusty crispness.

(Well…

maybe a scoop of BlueBell.)

Would it be so wrong

If the pie I promised

Had one piece gone?
