21st century saga

the delivered pizza pie came to me upside down.

the vegetarian toppings formed a red, green, black,

and yellowish mess as I flipped it saucy-side-up

and began to eat it.

the pre-cut triangular slices varied in size from ridiculously

wide to skinny-pickle.

the big boys draped downward at the point forced by their own weight

when lifted from the top's rolling crust.

this is the prescribed modus operandi for addressing

a hastily delivered pizza pie arriving upside down at your door.

in full disclosure:

“pizza pie” is a term of endearment often spoken of by

the 20th century sage, Edward “Lilly-white” Norton,

and is repeated here without authorization.
