Eileen Manassian Poet Couplet

Better Than a Plentitude of Pies

Jack Ellison's a cutie pie, his words are yummy sweet
Each time I read a lovely rhyme, I get a tasty treat

Pie poems for my every mood, I just can’t get enough
Cherry, lemon, and berries too, all really scrumptious stuff

Jack Ellison's a lovely friend, he sweetens up my life
If he comes a visitin’, I’ll bake pies for him and wife

I make lovely crumb apple pie, with ice cream it’s divine
I’d sure pamper Jester Jack and Cute Cathie up just fine

So here I’ll end my silly rhyme by saying this…no lie
I love to eat his words all up, I love them MORE than pie!
