USEFUL PUMPKINS
What can I do with a pumpkin that is as
big as can be?
Pies and cakes and bread, mousse and
funny pastry.
A friend makes a layer cake with whipped
cream piled high,
The calories in it makes you want to curl
up and die,
But the taste is worth it and you hope your heart
does not fail,
There does not seem to be a recipe that does not
turn you pale,
Yet the mousse is not too bad if for awhile
you do freeze
Most of it and then eat it by slow mouth
watering degrees.
All mine contain brown sugar, whipping cream,
eggs as well,
I would appreciate a message on my E mail if
someone would tell
Of ingredients that do not go right off the
calory scale,
Or some way of reducing things that make heart
patients wail.
But with extra light pastry that melts in your
mouth will take
All the stuff you should not eat, but it’s not often
for goodness sake,
So lets go ahead and find all the rich recipes
that we can,
And do not tell the doctor about your holiday
secrets plan.
