Sense Sonnet - Tickler

Plan B

Helen Hayes, actress of great fame,
Spent little time on cooking quests.
But one occasion, she felt game
To cook a turkey for some guests.
Just prior to the serving time,
She announced that this was her first
Attempt at baking a bird prime.
They'd all go out to eat at worst.
Excusing herself, off she went
To the kitchen to bring Tom out.
She carried back the main event,
And looked at her guests with some doubt.

Around the table each guest sat,
Holding his and her coat and hat.
