To Miss Maria Dickinson - A Double Pie Limerick



There was once a fine cook named Marie,
Who baked a most wonderful pie;
     I ate like a pig
     But the pie was so big
I had to quit eating or die.

Our thanks to the cook are writ here,
Which is rather poor pay, but sincere;
     And though we may eat
     All the crust and the meat,
We won’t eat the plate, never fear.



Dec. 19, 1914
