Mom's Pumpkin Pie!
by louis gander When I was just a little lad, I came inside from play. Aroma met my little nose on many, many day. Oh my my! Mom's pumpkin pie! I rushed right to the kitchen and the oven I had spied. but it- completely empty. I didn't quite know why. Oh my my! Mom's pumpkin pie! The table top was all cleared off. The window sill was too. My hunger pangs were 'killing' me. Oh, what was I to do? Oh my my! Mom's pumpkin pie! It wasn't in the oven and the counter top was bare. With refrigerator empty, it wasn't anywhere!. Oh my my! Mom's pumpkin pie! "Hey! Where's my pumpkin pie?" I yelled! But there was ne'er a sound. I yelled again. The echo waned. There was no one around. Oh my my! Mom's pumpkin pie! Could it be at the neighbor's house? Would mama have gone there? What if my pie was just for them? Oh no, she wouldn't dare! Oh my my! Mom's pumpkin pie! I ran off to the neighbor's house. I pounded on the door. And then when they had opened it, my jaw dropped to the floor. Oh my my! Mom's pumpkin pie! And there it was- on table top - as plain as 'one' could see. Would she have given it to them? Oh no! It couldn't be. Oh my my! Mom's pumpkin pie! I must have given hint away. They must have seen a clue. They then invited me to sit so I could have some too! Oh my my! Mom's pumpkin pie! But where was mom and where was dad? Did they go to the store? No. They were in the pumpkin patch so I could have some more! Oh my my! Mom's pumpkin pie!
