      The Crinkling on A Poisonous Pie - Phillip Leighton-Daly

      The Crinkling on

      a Poisonous Pie

      This title was inspired by William King

      from a rhyming couplet penned in his

      The Art of Cookery published in 1708.

      Unless some sweetness at the bottom lie.

      Who cares for all the crinkling of the pie.

      Readers in this story are challenged to

      ascertain the value of wealth, beauty and

      youthfulness

      in the absence of empathy and compassion.
