A Bit of Braggin

I can bake a cherry pie, That men have said is for to die. Apple, berry, banana cream, Makes no difference, for all they scream. I have seen a strong man cry When I told him there was no more pie. Proposals I’ve had by the score. They’d marry me to get some more. Luscious flavor, tender crust, At church meals my pie’s a must. For other cooks it doom and gloom When they must take their pie back home. A mouthful of heaven in every bite, Roll it gently, get it right. My biggest fear is when I die. The tears shed will be for my pie. This shamefuly bragging poem is for the contest.
