Pie Hard

PIE HARD

the meringue explodes
squishes twixt heroes bare toes
and the pieman laughs

lemon gel hits cop
on the crusty street down low
“join the party, pal”

Christmas is a time
to pie hard, “yippee ki yay”
with model wise guys

bad apples at large
the hero’s jotting down names
for a half-baked plot

temperature rising
the elevator opens
Macintosh is dead

momentum of pie
thief loses his grip...forfeits
a victory slice

Kim, kudos on your win! This sounds like the trailer to a new sequel. You may want to send a copy to Bruce Willis for his consideration. Just sayin' :) ~Mark

A thousand times over I am glad I did not attempt "Pie Hard" as I do believe you have NAILED it. I caught on so fast I could not believe it, as I am not usually that quick! Good luck in the contest, Kim.
