Gone With the Pie

I caught a glimpse of him by moonlight
Gone with the pie the thief in the night
Called up a private eye who’s bright

To have before the clock strikes midnight
My pie returned without a bite
Otherwise beware to each and every parasite

My next pie will hide a stick of dynamite

"the pie returned without a bite" - made me wonder, would we still want to eat it? This was great!
