Mud pies

are always apropos

when down memory lane

we care to go

 

At 4 or 5

playing side by side

after rain it gave us

mud for pies

 

We even ate some

that's no lie

when sisters served up

fresh mud pies

 

  Children today

are none the wise

don't know the recipe 

for making pies

 

Fun in the mud

on hands and face

a forgotten art

mud goes to waste

 

And lacking is

the fun supplied

kids miss the making

of mud pies.
