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 cheeseI 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.
