Another day

Another issue

We’re all a-waiting

They’re talking Whoopie

Is this for real?

Are they insane?

What’s taken over

The state of Maine?

The new election

Of state confection

They’re talking Whoopie

Picture a crème-filled sandwich

It’s sugar mixed with lard

Something that fits your hand, which

Will make your arteries hard

From Madawaska

To southern Kittery

Seems this much sugar

Will make you jittery

This pressing issue

Will make you wish you

Were talking Whoopie

Picture a Down-East picnic

What’s on your plate to see?

You give your fork a quick lick

Blueberry pie, for me!

They need a budget

Or folks will hurt

They say, “let’s fudge it

And talk dessert

This legal action

Is mere distraction

They’re talking Whoopie

For those too lazy to click links… the state of Maine is debating the adoption of a State Dessert, the Whoopie Pie, which was invented in Pennsylvania.  Me, I’m in favor of Blueberry Pie as the state dessert; if a state dessert can’t turn your smile blue, what good is it?
