Blackberry Pie

Would you like a piece of blackberry pie?
Oh, yes, he said, oh, my, oh, my!
Blackberries are antioxidants you know.
I had no idea and told him so.
 
Blackberries on ice cream or even in cake.
Blackberry jam after a kiss.
Blackberry pie, it is great for goodness sake!
I salivate thinking of this.
 
They are a terrific source of vitamin C.
I am wondering now if I should keep all the pie for me.
And they have magnesium too, you know, he says with a sigh.
I don’t care a bit, I am dreaming of warm pie.
 
Blackberries on ice cream or even in cake.
Blackberry jam after a kiss.
Blackberry pie, it is great for goodness sake!
I salivate thinking of this.
 
He has forgotten the pie and is speaking of cheese.
I am tired of his blather and want him gone in the breeze.
So, I can enjoy the pie by myself, and eat the whole thing.
When he finally leaves, I want to sing!

M. L. Kiser August 12, 2022 at 11:52 AM Enjoy that pie!!! Can you overload on antioxidants? Oh well, these days I doubt you can get too much. Caren Krutsinger August 12, 2022 at 1:21 PM I doubt it too!

L Milton Hankins August 12, 2022 at 9:31 AM Now, now! I'm glad you like blackberry pie. I can eat it, but the seeds get between my teeth and they turn my lips blue. Not so pleasant. Nah, you can have the blackberry pie! Enjoy! Caren Krutsinger August 12, 2022 at 1:22 PM I will; I love blueberry pie, raspberry pie and blackberry pie! The only berry pie I do not like is strawberry pie.
