Hot Dog My Red Hot!

Sumptuous
savoury
smothered in chili
onions heaped high
on a tasty mustard bun
I will not waste one morsel
of you
My eyes feast upon you
on my plate,
as you sit and await your fate!
My palette awaits
I want to hold you
and devour you
Love of my life,
you make my mouth water
I am tantalized by your smell
Your aroma tempts me
My taste buds tingle
Come closer!
You are my Red Hot!
Hot Dog,
I have been awaiting this moment
to bite into your burning flesh,
and experience your texture,
and enjoy Umami
The 6th sense

Absolutely criminal to work up an old man with gout. The charm of this poem is that your reader can clearly see the tatalizing object. My mouth watered all the way through, but doctor says hot dogs are bad for gout. Congrats on this clever selection. Love, daver

I love this poem. It's the best. One of the best pleasures in life is eating a descent hot dog. Absolute deliciousness!
