The
Pie Thief
Each contestant was set to dig in.
They were all hungry and eager to win.
Pie eating for sport–a ridiculous
waste.
Well-to-do folks, each one stuffing
their face!
But one contestant was missing this
winter.
This deprived man had no spare loot to
enter.
Juggling daggers for tourists did not
provide much.
Life for the rich! The poor shit out
of luck!
Great prizes for winning–oodles of
money.
A life supply worth, good to buy bread
and honey.
But no sense in wishing...he was out
of the game.
He’d end their damn contest, he swore
on his name!
He snuck himself inside, along with
the judges...
...then bled them backstage, even
killed one on crutches!
He slit the throats of contestants,
making onlookers suffer.
And, last, took the meat-pies, so he’d
have food for supper!
