This stemmed from taking the last donut from
the box of Tim Horton's, showing it to A-M, and intoning "That's my last
dutchie" and her replying, "No, it's an apple fritter".
This is a strange household.

Lament for a Donut

That's my last dutchie sitting on the plate
Looking as if it were uneaten.  I call 
That donut a wonder now; Tim Horton's hands
Worked busily an hour, and there it sits.
Wilt please you to sit and look at it? I said
"Tim Horton" by design, for never formed
Coffee Time that frittered countenance,
The depth and passion of its sugared glaze,
But to myself they turned (since none puts by
the Timbits box I have oped for you, but I)
And seemed as they would ask me, if they durst,
How such a glaze came there, so, not the first
Are you to turn and ask thus. Sir, t'was not
An invite to eat that donut.

A dutchie is a heavier fried donut, one of those squarish ones
of the fritter variety, with raisins.  Tim Hortons (no apostrophe) is
a chain of Canadian donut shops named after a hockey star.
Coffee Time is a rival donut chain.  Timbits are donut holes.
