I walked into the auction hall,
bound and determined to spend my all.
The church's welfare is a good cause for me,
so I was ready and able to answer their plea.
The room was gorgeous, tons of bounty,
at St. Benedict Church in Caroline County.
It was much like Christmas with presents unwrapped,
so many tables, I needed some maps!
When, hark, I spotted it, gleaming red,
and, lo' and behold, it was just ahead;
an item so wonderful, enticing and bright,
I knew my bid for it must be just right.
I could have made it, and baked it, and ate it;
I could have and should have, but wait just a minute--
If I had it would not have been as great,
as the item I saw, I couldn't wait!
Thank God for Betsy and her baking prowess.
I'm here to attest; I'm here to witness,
that her strawberry pie is truly THE BEST;
my palate and our Parish have truly been blessed!
