Farewell, O fragrant pumpkin pie!...

Farewell, O fragrant pumpkin pie! Dyspeptic pork, adieu! Though to the college halls I hie. On field of battle though I die, my latest sob, my latest sigh shall wafted be to you! And thou, O doughnut rare and rich and fried divinely brown! Thy form shall fill a noble niche in memory's chamber whilst I pitch my tent beside the river which rolls on through Kingston town. And my Love—my little Nell, the apple of my eye to thee how can I say farewell? I love thee more than I can tell; I love thee more than anything—but—pie!
