A slice of coconut pie
With meringue so high
My taste buds awoke
I tell you no joke
It’s better to eat than just eye.

The limerick challenge sounded like a lot of fun, and after a couple of friends encouraged me, I decided to give it a try. I'm not a poet and this is my first attempt at writing limericks. I wrote four, two of which are reflective while the other two are a bit humorous.
Since yesterday, March 14, was Pi day, it had me thinking about a different type of pie—coconut cream. Sit back, and enjoy a slice.

Ever since I was a young lad, my only goal in life was to be a member of The Elementals. Instead, I ended up more of a stage prop for a garage band. I have the antics of St. Patrick’s Day to blame. Or perchance it is the ancient curse passed down from my arrogant ancestor Rumpelstiltskin.

LOL! That was fun, Joan. Tasty, too! 😉
Oh YES! Coconut pie! This one made me smile, Joan.:-)
Coconut pie -- my dad's favorite. I loved this one, leaves a sweet taste for sure. ❤️
Much better to eat. Well done.
I agree much better to eat than just lokk at or pas by!
Amen to that, my friend!
The pie is pretty, but I'd rather eat it, too. Nicely done.
