Apple Pie - Unabridged Version

This is neither poetry, nor art,
It is not an ending or a start, 
but in all sincerity, says I,
"May I have a slice of apple pie?"

"Indeed, you may have your apple pie,
It is not a case of do or die. 
It's a simple fruit filled pastry,
thought by many to be tasty." 

"As the pie, I beg your attention. 
There's something I would like to mention.
I have steaming apples in my crust,
but don't eat me...well if you must."
