Pig Pick'n Cake Skullduggery... a dream deferred
Pig on the BBQ
Chicken on the spit
Cornbread slabs fried crispy
Sweet tea with fresh-picked mint.
Kitchen screen door crashes!
"Ye-ye-ye-ye-haw!
NOW, YE PIRATES, RUN! "
Dogs start jump'n, bark'n, yap'n...
Young'ns race'n through the yard!
Theo takes chase with a garden rake
Uncle Nick hollers loud... "Look!
"They stole Miss Birdie's mix'n bowl! "
...........
"They got the cream for my pig pick'n cake!
Catch em! Grab em! fore they eat it all! "
Git em!... Catch em! ... Roll'n! ... Hold'n!
Bowl held high by Preacher Holland!
Stand up, dust off, Theo swings that rake!
They won't be sit'n for awhile.
..............
Under the shade of the ginko tree...
Tears a dry'n... most folks smile'n
We watch Miss Birdie as she makes our plates.
Rivers of sweet fruit lace through
White chiffon,
Smothered with thick, whipped cream... Worth stealing... it's good eat'n...
Is our Pig Pick'n Cake!
