A poem for pie in the sky people

Are you a pie in the sky person?  One of life’s daydreamers?  If so, this poem might be just for you…

I’ve picked the first and last verses only – you’ll find the rest in Read Me and Laugh (today’s date, of course).  Oh plus two lines from the middle – that let you into the secret of how transformation occurs…

Sky in the Pie!

"Waiter, there’s a sky in my pie
Remove it at once if you please
You can keep your incredible sunsets
I ordered mincemeat and cheese

I can’t stand nightingales singing
Or clouds all burnished with gold
The whispering breeze is disturbing the peas
And making my chips go all cold…"

"OK I’ll try just a spoonful
I suppose I’ve got nothing to lose…"

"…This sky is simply delicious
Why I haven’t I tried it before?
I can chew my way through to Eternity
And still have room left for more.

Having acquired a taste for the Cosmos
I’ll polish this sunset off soon
I can’t wait to tuck into the night sky
Waiter!  Please bring me the Moon!"

Thanks to Roger McGough for making me smile, and bringing us the moon.
