Kickass, the doorstop dog, reports the keeper as stuffed as a turkey of his kind can get as he and Phyllis were guests at a number of clan feasts, all of them of exceptional quality and quantity and with one memorable oversight:
“Which of our chefs wanted to cry
“For forgetting the sugar in the pumpkin pie?
“Maybe she did it to get attention
“For work that rarely gets a mention.
“If that’s the case it worked out well,
“Sugarless pie tastes like hell.
“And Thanksgiving of ‘24 will live and die
“As the year with no sugar in the pumpkin pie.
“Take a bow all unappreciated cooks,
“We’ll not judge your pie by its looks.
“And if it comes sugarless as our desert,
“With maple syrup you can even eat dirt.
“Thanks to the cooks one and all.
“Even the one who made the pie call.
“She knows who she is and that’s enough to say,
We’ll want her back cooking on another day.”
