Orders delivered of foodie goods
Thanksgiving day in LA
The Prius is queued
three blocks from Whole Foods
We’re only an hour away, yay!

Locally river-farmed tuna’s good
or confit of free-range duck
It’s hard to impress
in a city with chefs
like Feniger, Splichal and Puck

Vegan alternatives, low in carbs
Yes, even the tofu’s soy-free
Our guests often choose
to adopt food issues
of A-list celebrities

like Oprah, who’s sitting next to James Woods
and Sting, who brought top-shelf Mescal
kd lang and her bride are seated outside
Oh crap! Who invited Weird Al?

Overcooked turkey will never do
for sophisticates such as these
Though Jewish folks throng
in Little Canton
for carry-out Chinese

Overpriced slivers of foofy foods
on angry young actors’ trays
A surrealist scene
of Pilgrim cuisine
I’m pitching my new screenplay

Organic liver and stews infused
with truffle aioli foam
And if grandma brings
her awful stuffing
we’re putting her in a home

Overly fancified comfort food
It’s not too authentic, I know
But then, Puritans
thought flavor a sin
And besides, green bean casserole blows.
