PUMPKIN PIE

Let’s make a sweet treat,

something very good to eat.

Measure, count, mix, and pour,

into the oven, shut the door.

Wait and wait, smells so sweet,

when will it be time to eat?

Timer rings, the bakings done,

making pie was so much fun!

Cut a slice and then cut two,

pumpkin pie for me and you!
