Heartburn

Heading home from Susie's Diner,
Everyone says there's no finer.
All think Susie's sizzlin' dinners
Really rate as wondrous winners.
There we had the chili cheese fries,
Butterfinger shakes, and fried pies--
Utter Heaven then, but--UH OH!
Rumbling gases threaten--OH, NO!
Now let's fix a great big bromo!
