The apple pie
across the picnic table sits
warm with an aromatic scent
Skipper eyeing it
He employs a caper
catching the air with his ears
flying high in the air
coming oh so near
Skipper’s mouth open
flying next to the pie
grabbing it quickly
before anyone can spy
He hits the ground
rushes next to a boat
carrying the pie
no time to gloat
The pie looks good
such a wonderful prize
he grazes upon it
a feast for the eyes
The pie tastes good
now it is all gone
time for a nap
on the lawn

Did it really happen?
One Thanksgiving afternoon Skipper managed to pull an apple pie off a table without anyone noticing. He ate the entire pie and then slept for the next eighteen hours. Then he was extremely sick and then fine. Apples were his favorite treat. He has been in Heaven now for 20 years and that apple pie is still a topic of conversation at family reunions.
