A Gustatory Achievement

Last Thanksgivin’-dinner we
Et at Granny’s house, an’ she
 
Had—ist like she alluz does—
Most an’ best pies ever wuz.
 
Canned _black_ burry-pie an’ _goose_
Burry, squshin’-full o’ juice;
An’ _roz_burry—yes, an’ plum—
Yes, an’ _churry_-pie—_um-yum_!
 
Peach an’ punkin, too, you bet.
Lawzy! I kin taste 'em yet!
Yes, an’ _custard_-pie, an’ _mince!_
 
An’—I—_ain’t_—et—no—pie—sin ce!
