It seems only fitting that considering in September, there was a cake daily prompt that tart should be given equal standing. I must have missed π (pie).
Pecan Tart Rhyme
I said he looked a tad pasty;
he wanted to discuss pastry.
He said his favorite tart was cherry,
mine was pecan. He looked wary.
He said, “That’s a tree nut”
with condescension, a rooster strut.
Why do non-southerners not understand
how the pecan is like contraband,
its ability to roast to perfection
its ability to make any confection
just a bit extraordinary.
He said what about blackberry
lingonberry, black cherry, raspberry,
are you saying that these are ordinary?
I sighed, tired of the parry, I must depart
I’m off to procure a pecan tart.

Pecan Tart. My mouth’s watering. Loved the rhyme and the clever twists.
Thanks for stopping by JonahzSong; glad you liked my rendition of Tart, Mincemeat Tart.
Lord Bless, Keep, Shine . . .
Thank you! 🙂
I tried pecan pie once … it was like a mouthful of nutty sugar, so sweet! My fave is lemon meringue, yum!
Yeah, if you get commercial pecan pie, it’s not so nice (but sometimes better than other things). Homemade or bakey tarts or pie control how much of the syrupy filling is used. I recently had one that used a smidge of coffee in the filling…nice. 🙂
Coffee makes everything better!
Darn cute, but you made my hungry for tarts!!! go figure! hehe
lol….me too!
Im in good company then! wooot
I get you. Pecan tart is my favorite tart as well. 🙂
I’ll admit,
I do love a smooth and sticky pecan pie,
Whereas a sultry tart can be rather dry.
Oh my.
lol…I’ve been thinking of a proper response, but: I got nothing. That seldom happens…usually don’t have problems “talking.”
