Slurping Down Grasshopper Pie

The pure green goodness of grasshopper pie!
Tasting that mint gives me a delicious high!
Thinking of insects as I eat is my last choice.
But this recipe was penned by a humor named Joyce.

So come on marshmallows and Oreos too.
We are going to have to make this insane name do.
We all gulp it down without thinking about
The grasshoppers that would make hopping feet prints no doubt.

Grasshopper pie, I am in love with your colors so sweet. 
Bright verdant green and the Oreo black are a treat.
Your name is good too, it will help me tease my little cousin Bill.
Guess how many grasshoppers we had to kill?

I don't think I've ever eaten grasshopper pie, but it sounds delicious. Is this strictly a midwest dessert?

You didn't kill any, but you did have to smash a lot of oreos for the crust. It's soooo delicious.
