Advent Poems (Dec 6th) - My First Mince Pie

My first mince pie and I’m in heaven
The flaky, crumbly, mincemeat bliss
Give me the choice, I’d eat eleven
Sweet pastry it doesn’t get better than this

Serve it hot or serve it cold

I do not care just serve it

If someone’s selling, deem it sold

If I’m not there reserve it

Clotted/double/single cream
I’m a mince pie eating fool

I go to bed to mince pie dreams

If only it were always Yule

So stuff me full, I’ll still surmise
I’ll never tire of fresh mince pies
