edit: one for posterity, forgot I was in central time zone, missed the deadline! But thought I'd post it anyway
The Invention of PIE
It was All Hallows Eve at the Creek
Flying V was still doing some tweaks
All the caldrons were filled
With her hands that were skilled
Making all the ejuices we seek.
One vat contained
juice of the Year
While hubby was out hunting deer
She just took the liberty
Of using her wizardry
To blaze new paths and frontiers.
A full moon was up in the sky
Spooky midnight was drawing nigh
With a devilish cackle
She decided to tackle
The very best
juice you could buy.
"First I will put up the roos"
And put them to bed for a snooze
She walked back to the Hut
With a devilish strut
And decided to mix up some brews.
A jack o lantern shining nearby
Gave Flying V a gleam in her eye
T'was that pumpkin gleaming
Which started her scheming
"I think I will tackle some
PIE!
She wanted to please her Posse
And her eyes got tearful and glossy
"I will make this one tops!
I will pull out all the stops!
I will make this one tasty and saucy!"
And so it is really a mystery
On a night that was cold and blistery
The invention of
PIE
Beneath that Autumn sky
And the rest, as they say, is just history!
