MISS CARR'S PIES
Long, long ago, there was nothing but snow
on the dark country lane in my tale,
And galloped a horse, (with a rider of course)
With a bag full of paintings for sale.
But the snow was too thick,
and he had to think quick
if he stayed out too long he would freeze
And though the dark night
he saw the pale light of an inn,
where he could find some ease.
He tethered his steed in the stables next door,
And carried his pictures inside.
And there by the bar,
was the lovely Miss Carr
with a tray full of pies at her side
Good evening Miss,
he said with a hiss
his mouth was all frozen and solid
She simply looked up from a recipe book
And said in a manner quite stolid.
"Good evening sir,
Can I get you a beer?
A room for the night or some tea?
There’s nobody here at this time of year
I can give you a discount maybe?"
"What would be nice, is one of those pies?"
"What would be nice, is one of those pies?"
Said the traveller eyeing the tray
“Can you warm right it up
with some ale in a cup
and tell me how much I must pay
"I certainly can" she said to the man
"please take a seat by the fire"
"I shall warm it up quick,
I ‘ll be back in a tick
with a pie that will match your desire"
Miss Carr went away with the pies on the tray,
and selected the largest one on it
To the kitchen she went with a pie for the gent ,
Whilst humming herself an old sonnet.
"So the man wants a pie", she said with a sigh
it will cost him much more than he thinks
She pulled out a locket
from inside her pocket
And opened it over his drink.
Down poured some dust,
which was redder than rust
It bubbled and fizzled and festered
She stirred up the brew
which was thicker than stew
but smelt rather good none the less……
Oooooops - more to follow!!!!
