The Pie of Music

My kitchen time ending, dishes drying in stacks
My family is telling me it’s time to relax
In the background are voices urging me to stay
So I pause, wait and listen for one more lovely thing
That my friends and family might say...

My kitchen is filled, with the smell of fresh pie
Made year after year, from my best recipes
The air fills my lungs, with the smell of fresh pie
My mouth wants to eat every pie it sees

My mouth wants to eat like the child 
Who experiences pie the first time in their life
My mouth wants to savor fresh aroma of pie 
From the oven before cut by the knife
To boldly eat pie like the person who won't
Let calories get in their way
To eat, through the night, and
Be ready for more the next day

I go to my kitchen when I’m good and hungry
I know I will eat, like I have before 
My kitchen is blessed with the smell of fresh pie
And I’ll eat one more!

It makes me want to dance the Merengue! ~Mark
