Cake vs. Pie: A Poem
There are two deserts of which to partake.
On right hand is pie, on the left hand: cake.
Which one is better? I'm not going to lie,
When given the choice, I'll always pick pie.
From pumpkin to apple, to rhubarb and more,
Each slice contains flavors that you can't ignore.
From the crust to the filling, pie’s a true work of art,
Every bite is a journey, straight to your heart.
Cake is so shallow. It's all about show.
Just slap on some frosting and it's good to go.
Cake’s also is messy. It leaves crumbs everywhere,
But pie holds its filling, with special, loving care.
Cake comes in a box. It’s dry and a bore,
While pie's bold flavors, leave you wanting more.
Cake’s made from sponge, and overly sweet,
But pie's tender crumb is pleasant to eat.
Pie's not only yummy, it's also quite smart,
The number 3.14, plays that part.
For those who believe that cake still has merits,
Remember that pie’s never been made with carrots
So, when you’re deciding which one to pick,
Choose the humble dessert with a heartwarming kick,
For its depth, its flavors, and its artful creation,
Pie is the winner, without hesitation.
