Pie Thinking

When I think of pies I think of my son Kev, when it comes to baking pies he is a master chef, when I think of pies I think of my younger sister Eileen, my Dads nickname for her was "Pies" when she was 2 or 3, when I think of pies I think of Wal-mart, with their bakery aisle tempting us with the different varieties and aromas, when I think of pies I think about Thanksgiving, and how we Americans love to give thanks by scarfing down about half a dozen, when I think of pies I think of pizza, with Dominoes, Little Caesars, Papa Johns and Marcos and their customers coming and going, when I think of pies I think of Dean Martin, crooning to us his song about the moon and pizza pie in "Thats Amore," and last if not least when I think of pies I sigh and thank God I'm not a mathematician, because I think of pies enough as it is and worry I'll soon be fat instead of thin!
