A MELTON MOWBRAY PORK PIE by RICHARD THOMAS LE GALLIENNE

First Line: STRANGE PIE THAT IS ALMOST A PASSION
Last Line: AND ALL IS NOT PORK THAT IS PIE.
Subject(s): FOOD & EATING; PIES;
STRANGE pie that is almost a passion,
O passion immoral for pie!
Unknown are the ways that they fashion,
Unknown and unseen of the eye.
The pie that is marbled and mottled,
The pie that digests with a sigh:
For all is not Bass that is bottled,
And all is not pork that is pie.
