Higgidy

greedy guts is sad

by andy williams on the 19th of November 2011

it was way back in June
when I posted my tune
with words of high praise for your pies

now six months have cleared
and no apron’s appeared
and the tears are filling my eyes

what makes it most sad
to this Lancashire lad
that my poem is gracing your home page

so what is the cause
I’m sure it’s not yours
but who is to blame for this outrage

so here’s what we’ll do
to the top of the queue
put my name and send it post haste

and I’ll continue to buy
my Higgidy pie
so I’m not left with a very bitter taste

also, my 10-year-old daughter didn’t receive an apron for her poem, The Empie Strikes Back, but she’s handling it better than I am. Although, I have to say, my poem was much better than her’s.
