A La Mode
Although my list is lengthy
Of desserts that I adore,
There’s one that I cannot resist
And leaves me wanting more:
A crumb-topped pie with berries –
Pretty simple, it would seem –
Just slightly warmed and crowned with
Some vanilla bean ice cream.
The filling should be thick and sweet,
The berries slightly oozing;
A mix works well, but blue ones
Are the berries I’d be choosing.
The crust should be delicious, too.
The ice cream scooped on high;
And as for calories to count,
Those rules do not apply.
My mom passed down her love of sweets
And one that she bestowed
Was berry pie (store-bought, but still)
Served warm and a la mode.
