Poem
Ah, the great American food mind! Nobody else could ever make such a find... The American "Red Hot", or HotDog.. A national tradition... Superb in every edition.... But my son and I, When to the movies we went, Had a hotdog, and money was well spent... Why can't we make Hot Dogs like these? If they asked, to find out, I'd fall on my knees... Tried every brand...but just not quite right... So I stewed it over, and went on my way... Until one fateful day... I came across kitchen appliances on sale... I don't need none...wait! Did I forget the bun?.... And somehow I found special hot dog makers... I'd seen them many times before, But never in an appliance store... Roasters, steamers, spits and lots more... I ain't got no clue, What most are for.... Then I remembered the movie show, And suddenly, Eureka!, I did know! They had those odd machines, Automatically turning hot dogs, on little rollers...I said, wow! Gotta get one of them!! Found them on line, And I espied their great cost... $500 bucks minimum, of course... What the hell, ya only live once... So I ordered one up.... While I sipped on my cup.... It soon came, and Amazing it was!! Much better than I'd hoped... but yet, still just a little something off... I thought to myself, I gotta figure this out... Went to the store, Plastic pulled out... 23 types of mustard, relish and such, Three different buns, different in shape, size, and touch.... And now, every brand of hot dog in the store... Had to be twenty or more!... It took me some time, But when I was done, I knew he right mustard, I knew the right bun!... The band came over to play that night... I served everyone hotdogs, It was so out of sight!! Well it took lots'a time, and money too... But soon enough, Everyone knew.... You needed Hebrew National Franks, Though their cost was so dear... But after these investments, I had little to fear... So from then on, it was Coney Island in Queens.. I was the hot dog king... Nothing else meant a thing!! So if you need a real tasty dog, Come see me here, Where I'm high on the hog,... And for a mere five bucks, you can have a dog... And say "Oh Shucks!"
