Short Pieman Poems

SIMPLE SIMON SAID TO THE PIE MAN

HOW MUCH FOR A PIECE OF YOUR WIFE'S PIE

THEN THE PIEMAN, QUICK AS AN EYE MAN

PUNCHED SIMPLE SIMON RIGHT IN THE EYE...

When Simple Simon met the pieman going to the fair,
He thought the guy an easy mark he could con out of his wares.
But the pieman glared at him and hissed,
"Bub, I ain't no danged pie-lanthropist!
Admit I must, you've got some crust,
But show me dough and then my wares I'll share."...

My one true love was Simon,
Simple, they called him,
But one day he went to the faire
And met Norah Pieman.

Oh, that girl was clever
She enticed Simon with her wares
And stole him plum away from me.

Now they live above the bakery,
Specializing in pies of every kind,

With bread and biscuits, too....

Simple Simon whistled, when he pricked his finger on a thistle, 
And the pieman had whistled too. 
Because the penny that Simon gave to the pieman,
Was a penny all shiny and new

The pieman threw the penny into the pail of water. 
In hopes that he'd find himself a buck 
But the pieman's naughty daughter, dipped her hand in the water
Stole the penny and ran away, yelling...Good Luck!
