Robert Pettit Poet Rhyme

I Will Not Participate

How many hot dogs should one ingest 
in order to be considered the best? 
The champion must eat many a tube steak. 
What a gastronomic risk he or she must take! 
With each frank must also be a bun. 
They keep eating until the contest is won.

Ilene Bauer October 4, 2012 at 2:44 PM nice rhyme here. i find those contests totally gross. i wrote a poem on july 4th about one which takes place in coney island every year. it seems that most people get a real kick out of them.
