Babes In Pie Land

Bake it with love and watch them run for taste 
Affable little rug rats that love to eat in haste 
Babes with eager faces plump & pillow faced  
Earing out their smiles with a beg of after taste 
Silently they make a move every noise erased 

I try and hide the pies for the night of Christmas eve  
Niggling up the crumbs, I stash away then leave     

Pitter patter pitter patter to the kitchen they both go 
Identical on facial grins like two geniuses at stow    
Each one pokes and prods the soft Pillsbury dough     
Licking up the berries with a silly grin in toe; 
Another year of crumpled pies it comes to no surprise   
Natalicious feigns are coming from their droopy eyes 
Dotted cheeks of jam with telltale signs of eaten pies.

You make those pies so delicious..they can't resist. Feigning innocence doesn't work..when evidence is on the face. A unique read, Pixie.
