Last Thanksgivin'-dinner we / Et at Granny's house, an' she

Had -- ist like she alluz does -- / Most an' best pies ever wuz.

Canned _black_ burry-pie an' _goose_ / Burry, squshin'-full o' juice; / An' _roz_burry -- 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! _

An' -- I -- _ain't_ -- et -- no -- pie -- since!
