find yourself a pie maker

you need

to find a good woman,

my neighbor

from Appalachia

tells me

as she hangs her clothes

on the back line.

a woman who bakes pies.

you can't go

wrong with

a woman like that.

cherry, apple,

peach.

pumpkin, or mincemeat.

a woman who bakes pies

is down

to earth,

someone in touch

with her

feminine side.

she has a good heart

and isn't afraid to get

her hands

dirty

with flour, or get next

to a hot stove.

she'll stand by your side

and never leave.

find a woman

like that dear boy

and you'll never be alone.
