A GUSTATORY ACHIEVEMENT

Last Thanksgivin'-dinner we
Et at Granny's house, an' she
Had—ist like she alluz does—
Most an' best pies ever wuz.
Canned blackburry-pie an' goose-
Burry, squshin'-full o' juice;
An' rozburry—yes, an' plum—
Yes, an' churry-pie—um-yum!
Peach an' punkin, too, you bet.
Lawzy! I kin taste 'em yet!
Yes, an' custard-pie, an' mince!
[OMITTED]
An'—I—ain't—et—no—pie—since!
