It was on the way to the Fair when I met the Pieman.
He was cooling his feet in the gently flowing creek.
It was hot, and he was on a lunch break. He’d travelled a long way; his pies were hot and steaming in the back of his van.
He mopped his brow, splashed his feet, and nodded to me as he waded by.
On his return, I asked if I could taste one of his pies, to which he asked which flavour I desired.
I asked him his flavours.
There was: plain, salty, mushroom, curry, sweet and sour, chilli, potato, cheesy bacon and bacony cheese.
Then he said he had apple, raspberry, strawberry cream, peach and pecans with passionfruit or without.
Such choices I did remark so to be safe I asked for a sweet and sour with tomato sauce.
I munched, he smiled and then mounting his van drove off to the Fair.

Mmmm Yum! You made me hungry. Lovely story, Michael! It felt like a lazy kind of summer day!
We’ve had plenty of lazy summer days Joy…
That is wonderful Michael! We have had spring like weather here this winter. It has been really nice. However, woke up this morning and had snow on the ground. So I guess we had one day of winter so far. LOL
A modern take on Mother Goose, or should that be Father Goose. I enjoyed the various images.
Thanks so much Michael and thanks for the follow.
Was his name Simon by any chance? Delightful take.
I was tempted to call him Simple Simon…
Only you, Michael, could take a picture like this and turn it upside down, inside out and come up with a story like this. Super imaginative 😀
Thanks Lyn you are very kind.
I just had lunch and I am hungry again now 🙂
Lol…thanks for giving me a smile…
Oh I really want an apple pie now ☺️
Thanks Kate, if you hurry he may still be wading and cooling his feet.
Interesting take, I like it. I love apple pie, but peach pie done right is pretty amazing too!
Thanks for stopping by, it seems every one has a favourite pie…
Yes, I’m sure lol.
Wonderfully imaginative.
Thanks so much.
