I've oft been offered but not tempted by

large helpings of pie in the sky

from too many crooks

who indeed the broth did spoil

and so as not to be sullied

by such greasy oil

I stay out of their kitchen

not because I can't stand the heat

but what's on their menu

ain't my cup of meat

apple or cherry by the slice

with a tasty pastry crust

is not a must but very nice

my absolute fave fit for a king

with taters on top of thee I sing

made with lamb

not beef that's cottage

and personal wish

as the name does imply

is a dainty dish

of homemade shepherd's pie
