A young girl entered the first grade hoping to learn how to spell using ABC's
But try as she may she could never spell those long tricky words until Miss
Cartolano lent her flash cards for home. Suddenly it became easy as pie.
He’d done this hundreds of times
Step up to the line and make two dimes*
Small crowds, large crowds, no matter
He sunk ‘em all, every record shattered
Three dribbles, a deep sigh
Swish! Easy-as-pie ...
How’d he miss with the title on the line
~ blinded by those dollar signs

*'Two dimes' is slang for two points; in this
case, two free throws made.
He walk the talk
Don't play with fire
Easy as pie.
I journey in thoughts in breathless strolls
every turn straightened, and bumps made smooth
my life whose trust in God, faith controls
pass sparked eyes, climbed smiles, the wealth of souls
perks in life that gift my heart and soothe
Be the stills of the night that shades day
the noontime of Spring and Summer Eve
and Autumn colors having their weigh
to impress snowflakes, window display
roam throughout my blest years I achieve
At work, everything is play by play
but I shake and bake, easy as pie
friends for lunch at a sidewalk cafe
at the church, had communion and pray
then trekked home, smiling that satisfy
The internal spirit externals
the facts of my life great from the start
each passing day juices my kernels
joy jogged entries, my daily journals
when my life part, find me in your heart.
Life is like a treasure;
Feel it with pleasure,
Let the bygones be bygones.
Whatever you want to accomplish,
Go the extra mile, just hang in there.
When opportunity knocks,
Don't be in two minds—give it a twirl,
Without the fear of facing the results.
When someone criticizes you,
Don't be up in arms with them.
Instead, step up your game,
And prove yourself.
Sometimes, you may feel left out in the cold,
Without any reason,
And it all seems Greek to you.
But when you're a cut above the rest,
These situations are a dime a dozen—
Take it as easy as pie.
When success isn't yours, bite the bullet,
Hold your horses, clear the air,
Come hell or high water,
Beyond a shadow of a doubt,
You will taste it!
Heather, Oh Heather
The worst waitress ever
Whenever will you come back to me?
I sit here forever
No service is rendered
And never do ever complain
Heather, Oh Heather
It’s so hard to remember
And it’s easy as pie to forget
With so many orders
And Special de Jours
If only you could find your pen
Heather, Oh Heather
It sez here in the paper
That people are where they eat
Together, they’ll find us
Alone in the diners
Apart from the lives we lead
Heather, Oh Heather
The worst waitress ever
The service was splendored today
We’ll take us together
Away and forever
And never will ever complain
Let your mind fly up in the sky
In search of God do you know why
Don’t weep think deep now do or die
God will make things easy as pie
Let’s run let’s win let’s cross hurdles
In God’s two eyes be sweet apples
Life is a fight please don’t give in
Fight for your right cause it’s no sin
God will answer your every call
God will control you like a doll
Stand up get up try to be tall
God will help you try not to fall
God is bowling be all in all
People will clap hit every ball
Sixes and fours you can do it
Make best efforts to hit and hit
Facing mounting pressure to do
What you really don't want to do?
That's easy as pie; holler a firm no!
Saddled with white elephant unasked for?
Say no and quickly return to sender!
The cackling devil tempts you
With enticing bait,
And threatens dire consequences
Should you reject it? Just do. Say hell no!
Beat him at his own diabolical game;
Make him taste his vile medicine
Should he tell you to dance for him.
Yes, it's funny to tell him lies, my chum.
Just tell him..."I'm sorry, I've got two left feet!"

~ Ironical-Educational Limerick ~
Slinging southern-fried political pus
Easy as pie for smooth-talking Russ
He'd turn on that charm
From down on the farm
Convinced folks states' rights were a must
How could slavery really be bad
Prosperity every year they had
But Abe Lincoln came
Spoke in freedom's name
King Cotton hated Abe's truth like mad
Things that used to be easy as pie
Are now a struggle, even my shoes to tie
Am I nearing the end
Maybe flowers you should send
But still got some limericks before saying goodbye
Everyone feels the pressure of stress,
Your environment is the ultimate test.
Whether it’s on a job or in life,
Not everything is as easy as pie.
People are often blind to complexity,
Steady crying about your personal issues,
Countless factors hidden in mentality.
Oblivious to the tissues next to you.
Focusing on little details is not a crime,
Stress can be like a ticking time bomb.
Taking things, a single step at a time,
Assists me in staying steady and calm.
Relax and take a deep breath,
Creating stress only leads to death.
However, if I breathe slow and chill,
I will overcome life’s stress windmill.
Cup of Joe
Cut to the chase
Between a rock
And a hard place
Back to square one
Piece of cake
Dime a dozen
Truth is stranger than fiction
Cold turkey
Down and out
Down for the count
Down to Earth
Drawing a blank
Easy as pie
Eat my hat
Go for broke
Truth is stranger than fiction
Hands down
Happy as a clam
Hard pill to swallow
High and dry
Head over heels
Toe to toe
Truth is stranger than fiction.
Heavy lipstick and curled hair,
Like a photograph;
But I feel the energy
whenever you’re near me;
I’m nothing like the rest of them
that’s why
you’re scared of me;
my heart on my sleeve
telling you exactly what I need;
Flimsy dresses and an absent stare
Oh honey, that’s a surface glare;
like staring at the Sun
It makes you blind;
Then you’re shaking again;
I can get you high
and you’re stone cold sober;
Spaghetti tanks and no risk
easy as pie like a one night stand .
I could reach your soul with a butterfly kiss,
and no lips;
that’s why you’re scared of me.
Things that used to be easy as pie
Are now a struggle, even my shoes to tie
Am I nearing the end
Maybe flowers you should send
But still got some limericks before saying goodbye
The funny side of life is for everyone
Open your mind, greet each day with a pun
It's easy as pie
Just give it a try
Might wind up on television making tons
