An Update To My Ode For A Butter Pie For The Vocal "From Across The Room" Challenge
A wonderful friend was in a very mischievous mood last night and suggested I updated this for the Vocal "From Across The Room" Challenge, and she knows I can resist anything but temptation, so I have added a second poem to enter the challenge.
I have loved Butter Pies since I was a child, certainly not the healthiest delicacy but, as my friend Laura stated “Food of the Gods”.
Also known as a Catholic Pie as it was baked to be eaten on "no meat" Friday.
It was a staple at Preston North End until the Pie Makers Ashworths went under in 2007 but returned in 2010

To Sail On The Seven Seas (With Cats)
This is a poem for my Muse to hopefully make her laugh, I love hearing her laugh. Was trying to graft The Owl and The Pussycat, The Iliad, and Jason and The Argonauts in an act of poetic madness so chose a vague Limerick form.

I'm feeling hungry now, yummy, thankyou for sharing (and for an idea!) xx
Delicious looking, and it definitely expresses your love for it.
This was such a fun and tasty read.
I love how you weave in some background as you tell us about your delightful "Butter Pie" ~ I'll look into a dairy free/ gluten free version for myself and try and make it. 😋
Oh, that sounds yummy, Mike!
I like the rhymes and organization
Nope, not for me. I am not a fan of butter. Pie . yes. But as you say, we all have our little craze. Banana, apple and coconut pie for me. Enjoy in moderation Mike, watch the ole waistline.
I have never heard of Butter pie before! I think I might have to look into this more....
So well done!!! Creamy & dreamy!!!♥️♥️💕
Anything with butter tastes good! lol
Those Catholics know how to cook.What a hook. 😊💕
Oh this sounds heavenly… I looked at the recipes. Buttery potatoes in a flaky crust? Yes please. I can see why you’d lust across the room for butter pie, haha. Fun take on the challenge.
I’ve never has butter pie, but it sounds delicious!! 😍
