A Little 'White' Lie, Wink Wink

With my white pumpkin I’m going to bake A pumpkin pie and say it’s cheesecake It’s “vanilla bean” Since it’s white like cheese - If only they’ll take the bait plate! Unsuspecting the pumpkin inside - I tap tap my foot, just take a bite! With “cake” in their mouths Their taste buds abound! Eyebrows rising in shocked surprise! 11/8/11 Received 4th place in "What No Orange Pumpkin" contest

That would be funny Susan to take a bite thinking you were getting cheesecake and getting pumpkin instead. I cannot remember if I thanked you for my win in your Cheater, Cheater Contest. But I think I did not so I am thanking you now. Thank you. And I am adding you to my list of fav's poet.
