Last Thanksgivin'-dinner we Et at Granny's house, an' she

Had--ist like she alluz does-- Most an' best pies ever wuz.

Canned _black_ burry-pie an' _goose_ Burry, squshin'-full o' juice; An' _roz_burry--yes, an' plum-- Yes, an' _churry_-pie--_um-yum_!

Peach an' punkin, too, you bet. Lawzy! I kin taste 'em yet! Yes, an' _custard_-pie, an' _mince!_

An'--I--_ain't_--et--no--pie--since!
