Gone With the Pie

They plotted long, that winter’s night
                   Beneath the Christmas star so bright
Three tiny mice in elf like suits
                       Could smell the pie of many fruits

And as it baked, their hunger grew
                                So they decided what to do
They knew that cook would, as a rule
                            Set pies on window sill to cool

They would appear as Christmas elves
                      Instead of their most scary selves
And then the cook, they would acquaint,
           Remove their clothes and she would faint

Just then, with super mouse like strength
               They’d slide that pie the needed length
Into their cubby hole nearby
                Like that!, they’d be gone with the pie
