On Pi Day

Because it is Pi Day,
Let’s talk about pie.
The math type’s beyond me;
I won’t even try.

But thinking of key lime
Or lemon meringue
Just makes my mouth water – 
That citrusy tang!

Or how about apple crumb?
Yes, a la mode!
Or strawberry rhubarb,
With tastes that explode.

My favorite is blueberry,
Raspberry, too.
I’m not fond of cherry,
Which might work for you.

Some people like custard
Or chocolate cream
Or pecan or pumpkin
And, while on this theme…

Of course, there is pizza
So scarf up a slice.
However you celebrate, 
Pie will suffice.

Why, Ilene! I was salivating for one of those delicious-sounding pies -- 'til pizza came along. ... Let's rename it; it's sacrilege to call it 'pie.' lol. ~ Gershon
