A Couple of National Pie Day Limericks

Pie is well celebrated with several National Days – January 23^rd and, of course, March 14^th. Pie is something wonderful that deserves all of the praise and waxing poetic that it receives.

I am a “not the least bit interested in recovering” foodie and I have a large cookbook collection that I have curated from estate sales over the years. It includes two great editions, one exclusively devoted to pie, and a second that devotes half of its pages to pie. It is great fun to bake a pie – picking out a recipe, picking up the ingredients, making a mess with the flour making the pie dough, putting the filling into the pie, the aroma of the pie when you take it out of the oven and then, the best part of all, eating the pie!

I’m a pie loving gourmet
And I’m devoted to pie, I must say
There’s nothing more thrilling
Than flaky pie crust and filling…
I could celebrate pie every day!

I have been writing limericks about pie for a while. Below is one of my favorites and links to two flavor specific pies

Pie is great as a wonderful dessert or as a euphemism! Who wants pie?

When a pretty face catches your eye,
That’s not the time to be shy.
To express your desire
You need to inquire….
I was wondering “Do you like pie?”
