Kickass, the doorstop dog, notes that the keeper and Phyllis try to find the reasons for any gains in their daily weigh-ins, with Phyllis being much the expert and frequently reminding the keeper of that.
So it was with the blueberry pie and the keeper presents his case:
THE BLUEBERRY PIE
It was an impulse thing, that blueberry pie
I had to have it or I’d probably die.
With an ice cream side, it was so good
We ate it all up just ‘cause we could.
I take the blame for the scale’s jump.
But there is no call to be a grump.
There’re more pounds to love of you and I
All because of a blueberry pie!
