mamas pies

mama’s pies were the best around
her crust was flaky and sugary
no one could bake a pie like she

she never baked a pie
she always baked three or four
I guess she only knew how to make lots of crust

there was enough left to sugar and cinnamon
for my sister and brother and I
she baked that on a cookie sheet and it was delicious!

her lemon meringue was a delicacy about which I still salivate
hot rhubarb pie with a tangy zesty zing, oh, my,
she could bake a terrific pie!

her pudding pies were enormously successful
she dolloped whipped cream on those.
I have not had a good pie since she left this earth.

Looking forward to more of mom’s pies in heaven
one of these days
