A little slice of heaven

I can see the apple pie looking at me from the fridge

I’m really trying to pass it by, not notice its sweet pastry ridge

I don’t want to taste its appley bits, so fruity and delicious

My inner voice is just the pits, it’s acting quite suspicious

‘cause while I’m being very strong and showing great resolve

My inner voice is forcing me to watch the pie revolve

I know that I should just stand fast and keep the pie a dream

But all that I can picture is apple pie and ice cream

Wait, what’s that you say, you’d like some apple pie?

Someone has eaten up my dream; I think I’m going to cry

Why did I prevaricate, my conscience didn’t budge

And now I want it, it’s too late. I’ll just have chocolate fudge.
