Frozen Party Pies



In trying to eat a frozen ‘party pie’ I’d guess 
maybe the statement equates to -“72 going 
on five” - but taste beats any rationalisation 
without doubt inviting reconsideration; - nor 
is there any cause t’ debate which might be 
better ways t’ ingest these magical morsels. 

They become squishy out of the microwave 
such you need at least two napkins in hand, 
and a plate, conducive to the machinations 
of a bandied tongues preferred in-pursuit-of 
runaway-filling coordination or you wait until 
they’ve cooled to a ‘bite and suck regimen’ 

Then there’s th’ crunch methodology we’ve 
retained as the first-up and fall-back pose - 
but your teeth need t’ know th’ consequent 
effect of such stress on olden fangs; & altho 
the harmony’s somewhere in the middle we 
managed all three party pies - quite easily…
