NO DYSPEPTICS NEED APPLY, by ANONYMOUS First Line: "it's late, perhaps, for cherry pie" Last Line: And sweeter far is mary in the kitchen making pies Subject(s): Desserts;food & Eating;pies | |||
IT'S late, perhaps, for cherry pie, But just in time for berry pie, For goose, and rasp, and huckleberry temptingly in reach; And on the vines now flowing free Are squash and pumpkins growing free; And now pan-dowdies are in style, and cobblers made of peach. The radiant fruits so fair to see, The flaky crust that's there to see, Afford a luscious spectacle most fair to mortal eyes; But better worth the taking there Than all the pastry baking there And sweeter far is Mary in the kitchen making pies. | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...THE PUMPKIN PIE, OR REASSURANCES ARE ALWAYS FALSE; THOUGH WE LOVE THEM by DIANE WAKOSKI MY DAUGHTER AND APPLE PIE by RAYMOND CARVER LEMON PIE by EDGAR ALBERT GUEST THE CHRISTMAS PIE by ROBERT HERRICK A MELTON MOWBRAY PORK PIE by RICHARD THOMAS LE GALLIENNE GOOSEBERRY-PIE; A PINDARIC ODE by ROBERT SOUTHEY "APPLE-PIE, APPLE-PIE / PETER LIKES APPLE-PIE" by ANONYMOUS GRANDMA'S BERRY-PIE by CLARA LOUISE ANGEL TIS A LITTLE JOURNEY by ANONYMOUS |
