Bird PieA Poem by Brett Hernan'Sing a song of sixpence, a pocket full of rye, 4 and 20 black birds, baked in a pie! And when the pie was opened- The birds began to sing! And wasn't that a dainty dish to set before a King?' -Traditional Bird Pie, Bird pie! I'm going to make some for you, and I! Bird pie, Bird pie! If you ain't convinced: 'It tastes real nice!' Bird pie, Pirb bie! I know that was wrong! (But, it's part of the design..!) Bird Pie, Bird Pie! I'm sure, you'll agree, that it tastes quite nice. Bird pie! Bird pie! There's a certain question, and we’ll always wonder, 'Why?' Bird pie! Bird pie! Tell me now, have you had time, to decide? Bird Pie! Bird pie! Compos-ed by computers, with lasers, for eyes! Bird pie! Bird pie! It wasall the rage, in 1385. Bird Pie! Bird Pie! An everyday essential item at, 'Missus Whiggin's Pies' Bird pie! Bird pie! (Which soon may going to be revived), on almost every family menu in answer, that's replied, when the kids, finally, give up asking, for Macca's to be supplied! Bird pie! Bird pie! Always cheap and tasty, 'til there's nothing left in the sky! (There, that scared the birds off.) © 2020 Brett Hernan |
