Plain Old Pie by Mike Williams 04/09/2016 @ 11:48 P.M.

Oh! Such a plain tart cherry pie, 
It needs no garnish should I try. 
Far too rich is the ala mode, 
And I too simple to be so bold. 

This mundane slice of life given me, 
I've dressed it up gilding the lily. 
So displeased with what I had before, 
I made it garish and disliked it more. 

I have no taste for life's finery, 
Though I've attempted it really isn't me. 
I'm simple no matter how hard I try, 
I'll always be just plain old pie.
