Blandishments

BLANDISHMENTS

blandishments passed by
i was blind…my friend produced
ketchup, mustard, & mayonnaise packs.

so close, i should’ve been bitten…
perhaps the fries
were a distraction;  i ordered
onion rings.

the turkey burger turned
into a “cheeseburger, please.”

however those blandishments
forsaken        i was taken
by the wise guys   

on the way out, i see

an entire section:
deep-sea-green pickles,
christmas-red tomatoes,
crispy lettuce and onions.

O the burger possibilities!

i paid too much   for the taste
of a cheese-turkey blandburger
and no-onion fries.
