pie eating contest at the jefferson school, washington, d.c. 1923

—

in honor of national pie day

i am proud to announce that 

once

on one fine summer’s day

i was declared

the women’s speed pie eating contest winner

at the local fire department’s picnic

no hands

just a chocolate pie and a competitive spirit

so let’s have another cup o’ coffee and let’s have another piece o’ pie.”
