"Just One Word"

"Take the title of another poet's poem, changing
just one word to write a completely different poem.


I wish I had a piece of pie,
lemon meringue, smooth and tangy,
or graham cracker-crusted key lime.
I wish I had a piece of pie.
Southern pecan would be sublime.
Warm peach A la mode could be dandy.
I wish I had a piece of pie,
lemon meringue, smooth and tangy.

(taken from "A Piece of Mind" by Benjamin Thomas)
