Heart Beats
By A. K.

From the Pies that were
The mother-mad kind
To the Pie of the present day
There was ever
A wicked
Chance in them
A dangerous lure
A temptation to man.
The China Pie
Was cut to bits
By England
And other friends
Big business" is part
OF American Pie
And each little manikin
Fights for his share
And curses the one
Who gets it.
Too we have the
Philanthropist's Pie
Its filling consists
OF dollars and dimes
Culled from gullible souls
Who think this "Pie"
Is for starving babies
But alas!
Our political Pie
Is an old. old Pie
And has ruined
Many a man
Whose great day dreams
Lead him astray-
Those dreams that come
From Pie.
Beware! My friends!
For every Pie
Has a sin-filled crust
Filled with luscious
Spells
Filched from the
Struggling wayfarer
The persistent
Subtle
Call of the Pie
May get you
Any time.
But remember that
Where there is Pie
There are always flies
And where there are flies
There is poison. -.
