I've been merrily writing away and shall now take a break. I'll go see if any packages have arrived today. I shall return momentarily. And yes, Viriginia, I shall be having PIE this very evening.
Perhaps Mr Guy Haines should do the Jerome Kern song "Pie" from STEPPING STONES (1923):
Lemon, apple, pumpkin, squash
Peach and custard, Oh, my gosh!
Prune and apricot and quince
Cherry, coconut and mince
Plum and raisin, currant, too
Every pie that you can chew
Blackberry, strawberry, cranberry, gooseberry,
Mulberry, huckleberry, blueberry, elderberry
Whortleberry, raspberry, raspberry, raspberry
Rah! Rah! Rah!
Pie! Pie! Pie!
Through the western country where the whiskers fly
In the great big open spaces real he-men fill up their faces
Full of pie, pie, pie!
