I love the Friday after Thanksgiving. All the fuss about dressing nice for Nanny and timing everything to come out of the oven at the same time is over. I can spend the day making turkey soup and munching leftover pie.
I was searching for a pie poem to share and found this one, by Lorreen Pelletier. It's not just a pie poem. It's a Pi poem. The number of letters in each line corresponds to a digit in the number pi. It's delicious and mathematically nutritious.
