The Pie Competition

Zalie Burnstein, 7
Angell Elementary

I look for a book -- a cookbook in specific --
so I can cook.
But my table just shook!
How?
I have an idea!
I’ll bake a pie…
wait, but why?
Well, I have to compete,
but mine’s too sweet!
Well then,
I’ll beat the batter!
Will it matter?
Wait, what’s that patter?
It’s the ladder!
Wait, it’s the judge
and he has a smudge
of fudge.
But he is not my friend
and, by the way,
that’s the end!
