Is there anything as pleasing,

in this crisp and cozy season,

as a slice of smooth and creamy pumpkin pie?

Flaky crust that tastes like butter,

pumpkin filling like no other,

I dare anyone to try and pass it by.

Cinnamon and nutmeg mingling,

with a hint of ginger, tingling

as it punches-up the flavor in each slice.

Russet-orange, mellow, spicy

with whipped-cream to top it nicely,

I can't help but fill my plate not once but twice.
