National Pie Day

National Pie Day advisory: find a pie — grab a fork — skip the plate.

You realize that today is National Pie day, right? And by “today” I mean any day you’re reading this post.

[That particular pie can be found here.]

And now I present you with an ode to pie.

Ode to Pie

Oh, the deliciousness of pie

in the shape of round

or triangle and square

with fruit

crinkled edges and crisscross top

or crunchy bits of sweetness

with ice cream

or plain

And cream filled

caramel mixtures
with pecans
drizzled with chocolate
meringue topped

and pudding

tastiness

Served on a plate

deliberately selecting the next bite

with a perfect crust-to-filling ratio

savoring each morsel of heaven

forget the plate

overlook the ratio

the portions

and dig in.

I totally just made that up–like right now.

I think it’s a gift.

Or something.

~grin~

And as you’re eating the pie you know you ought to eat to officially and enthusiastically celebrate this very fine day of pie recognition — I give you an adorable rendition of the Pledge of Allegiance. She’s three years old; her name is Bonnie; she’s my niece. It was originally posted on Inauguration Day 2017. I’ve annotated it because that kind of thing just makes me smile and any day of the week I will take an opportunity to do that.

Jus fer ah
okay
Uh pledge uhleeyunce fer og
Pledge ub uhleeyunce to the flag
for all nations
for for ‘Merica
to uh plug it for which it stands

If you can figure out how to watch the video at the same time you’re reading the annotation, you will do nothing but grin.

Happy National Pie Day.

This important holiday is officially extended indefinitely.
