Lemon Pie
Lemon Pie in the Oven
And Children asking questions
That maybe I once asked,
Eating excess lemon filling
From The Bowl with a Spoon.
But where are the children?
Their Father, Uncle,
Neighbor, Cousin,
I am each of them and none of them
And I bake whenever inspired
In one world I’m a single man
Living alone with pets;
In the other, I’m a Worker,
A cook and sometimes Manager
But always the family Baker
But in both worlds I really like
Lemon Pie, home made,
With a nice meringue on top
Also warm cherry, Apple,
Blue berry, Pumpkin, Orange
I like them all
Lemon Pie out of the oven
Lemon Pie on the table
You are more delicious
than a tree house -
Please stay awhile Lemon Pie!
