A four-course meal of 'No sirree'

Please can you explain the bold?


It was a recipe for disaster. A four-course meal of 'No sirree'. It seemed that happily ever after. Was happy everyone was after me. It was a cup of good intentions. A tablespoon of one big mess. A dash of overreaction. And I assume you know the rest. One little slip.It was a fusion of confusion with a few confounding things. I guess I probably took the wrong direction. Well I admit I might've missed a sign or two. I took a right turn at confusion. A left when I should've gone straight on though. I ran ahead with my assumptions. And we all know what that can do.

Chicken Little, animation
