Gotcha--Mia

Gordy, my neighbor, used to play well-planned
                       
Outrageous pranks, his fun at my expense.
                  
Then I devised a scheme, rather bland
      
Compared to his wild ones. In my defense,
              
He deserved this gift! I relaxed and watched nearby
          
As my victim devoured that homemade chocolate pie
