A PUMPKIN PIE VISION
BY Wilbur d. Nesbit

Old Doddridge ate his frugal lunch
OF milk and pumpkin pie.
And fell to musing as he ate.

To his reflective brain,
And. oh. the pictures 1t called up
An Old-time country lane.
An old-time country lane. with grass
All struggling by the side;
A boy. who trudged along the path.
With basket at his side
A jolly boy. whose eyes were keen.
Who felt inclined to sing.
And saw the glory Of the fall.
And fun in everything.
And then ne saw comedy girl.
With cheeks Of honest red,
Who smiled at him with sunny
glance,
And tossed her shapely head.
lie saw the old school house again.
And heard the teacher speak;
And on the roads of frozen snow
lie heard the wagons creak.
He saw the shellbark hickory tree.
He saw the kitchen door;
lie saw the pantry shelves again
With pumpkin pies galore;
He shifted the tang of cider sweet
The bloom of days gone by
And then old DOddridge Weakened
up
And ate his pumpkin pie.
