Black Eyed Susan Poet Limerick

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

James Fraser November 10, 2011 at 12:49 PM Oh to see their faces when they take a bite. Good luck in the contest Susan :)

Broken Butterfly November 9, 2011 at 4:09 PM 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.

Andrea Dietrich November 9, 2011 at 12:17 AM cute playful title and humor, Susan. I enjoyed seeing this though I think the inside must be orange, or IS it?? well, I got many interruptions tonight and instead of getting off here at 10 as planned. here I am at midnight. HOLY cow. MY BAD!!
