Your Pumpkin Pie - edited

by Allison78

I was a small girl but already knew
from sight I would not like your pumpkin pie.
I watched you bake it yearly as I grew;
I did however like to watch and spy.

You seemed to take such pride in what you did,
as we watched the Thanksgiving Day parade.
Dad was real sneaky even as you hid
his favorite that day, his hurt displayed.

But one thanksgiving day I took a bite,
It wasn't near so bad as what I thought.
To tell the truth, a really nice delight;
my strong dislike was now an afterthought.

I now make my own lovely pumpkin tarts;
I wish I'd liked your pie right from the start!
