From plants grown way up in the long cold north
Southerners learn of a noxious nutritious scrub
coming out of the good old buckwheat family
its leaves poisonous but the stalks are food
used to make into a dubious dessert pie
needing loads of sugared flavorings
and rugged brave souls to eat it
hell-bent to live dangerously
fooling old mother nature
consuming weeds that
we who love eating
un-sweet turnip
greens will
never eat
Y'all
Ya'll indeed....good old Rhubarb pie is a favorite of mine too. I always put cool whip on it to sweeten it a little more. Delicious poem William.

A great write about a great pie! My grandmother used to make rhubard pie, I always found it a treat, I would love to have slice right now! Enjoyed!

oooohhh!! I love rhubard and of course rhubarb pie. I haven't had stewed rhubarb for breakfast since I was a child, perhaps I should look for some at the grocery. Nice write, William, thanks for reminding me of that delicious stalk.
Take care,

Ooooooh...I love rhubarb, too. My mother made the yummiest rhubarb pies! I miss them: she's been gone 17 years, and I'm afraid I'm not the cook she was. :( Clever format, love this one. Delicious!
Rhubarb, rhubarb.... I LOVE rhubarb... but for some reason I can't type the word without a hundred typos.. Unlike your fine styling which is immaculate, Bill... who says that rhubarb ain't fit for nothin? And I'm sure that a resourceful chap like you could even find a use for those poisonous leaves... OK, I'm going! :)) Kate xx
