The Wizard of Pie

The Wizard of Pie The Wizard of Pie was a magical man With raspberry features, a coconut tan He lived in a bakery atop of the hill Where crust grew in gardens and bloomed on the sill There was a big warehouse he constantly swept Where pumpkins and apples and cherries were kept The villagers loved him, it was no surprise For he made the best ever Christmas Eve pies Though this year was different, his pies were the same But something had happened that tarnished his name A villager spotted him eating some cake And called him a liar and called him a fake The news spread like fire, the villagers cried They couldn’t believe that their baker had lied Until he explained, hoping they’d understand It was a new recipe, something he planned A pie that was cake in a cake that was pie It wasn’t that good, but he just had to try They forgave him for sure, yes they had to believe For they all wanted pies and it was Christmas Eve

Wonderful entry! Other than craving blueberry pie (that I don't have), I thoroughly enjoyed the poem and was certainly entertained. All the best ... CayCay

Thanks so much CayCay. It was difficult staying within the 20 line limit, but I tried and I am happy you liked it.

LOL Haven't seen the contest yet, but enjoyed your poem very much, Chris! In Meredith, New Hampshire, there is a "Pie Guy" who makes and sells nothing but pies. Your verse made me think of him. Yummy are his pies, but the cost is sky high. Next time I'll order from the Wizard of Pie. Hugs, Carolyn

Thanks so much Carolyn. The contest rules were hard for me because there was a 20 line max and I always get carried away with these types of poems, so I had to enter the Readers Digest version. :) Thanks again my friend, your comments always bring a big smile to my face.
