THE WARMTH, THE CALL, OF APPLE PIE

Thus, we clean up after the tryptophan tornado Slow moving, drugged, sated, slipper wearing zombies Picking at the ruins of fun, feast and folly Wondering why the soon to come fat guy is so jolly Pants – let out – for comfort sake A slumbering room of football fakes And then that scent, of my, oh my The warmth, the call, of apple pie I know it’s wrong, this pie I’m stuffin’ Will turn an epicure into a glutton As the leaves drift slow to the earth I must give my girth its worth.

Unbutton the pants, take a nap, but at the aroma of apple pie…to find the kitchen I don’t need a map. Your descriptive lines perfectly sum up the fun and or folly of the feast day, John. Leftovers, too!

I really like this poem. I can identify with eating too many sweets. It tingles the palate.

Hilarious and true; thank God my chef is also my tailor. Remedy near to the decadence. Great sense of humor and talent. Blessings.
