It's a Wonderful Pie

It’s a wonderful pie; can you see it?
That sweet lattice top apple pie.
Cinnamon oozes from slits in its crust.
It’s the favorite of my guy.

It’s a wonderful pie; can you smell it?
Its fragrance is pumpkin and spice.
The one that my grandma always would make
for us kids, both naughty and nice!

It’s a wonderful pie. Can you feel it?
The lusciousness of the merengue
that melts on your tongue is such a delight.
There’s enough here for the whole gang!

It’s a wonderful pie; can you taste it?
So rich it is named a cheesecake!
This one that I made with caramel swirls
is the one I most wanted to bake.

Written Dec. 2018 but never got entered in time for the Punny Pies contest

Had some lemon meringue pie out the other day so I understand the feeling behind this poem. I really don't bake but remember the poem by J.R.R. Tolkien about a baker. Please save a slice for me! Peace & Love Matthew Anish

What a shame you weren't able to meet the contest deadline, Andrea. Love your ode to pies and share your hubby's favorite. Of course, the cheesecake sounds great too! Merry Christmas, dear friend. Hugs, Carolyn

It is a winner no matter whether it made it into a contest, Andrea. I like all pie and cheesecakes also! Nicely done.
