L Milton Hankins Poet Epulaeryu

On the Grill

Delicious juicy hot dogs
Slathered with mustard,
Onions, slaw, and chili sauce
Some hamburgers, too,
On soft toasted buns
Cheese slices.
Yum!

Andrea Dietrich August 12, 2022 at 5:54 PM So far, yours is the meat I would most enjoy. Very well done, Milt L Milton Hankins August 12, 2022 at 5:55 PM Thanks, Andrea, I can't think of grilling without hot dogs and hamburgers. Summer yum.

Constance La France August 12, 2022 at 4:58 PM Milt, yummy poem and congratulations on your win in the contest, blessings ~ Constance L Milton Hankins August 12, 2022 at 5:56 PM Thanks so much, Constance.

Linda Alice Fowler August 12, 2022 at 12:39 PM Don't forget the cheese please :) Congratulations on your win Milt! Linda Linda Alice Fowler August 12, 2022 at 1:46 PM We only put cheese on the dogs if they had chili on them too. :) But always cheese on the burgers. Linda L Milton Hankins August 12, 2022 at 1:12 PM Thank you, Linda. I don't recall us putting cheese on a hot dog when we had them back in the mountains of West Virginia. But, it sounds tasty!

Paula Goldsmith August 12, 2022 at 12:26 PM Congratulations on your win. A lovely write. Looks like the weekend is on and so is your grill. Hot and cooking. Time to eat. Hahahah. Making me hungry. Have a blessed day/weekend.......... L Milton Hankins August 12, 2022 at 1:12 PM Thank you, Paula. Come on over and I'll throw an extra hamburger or hot dog on the grill. I don't want anyone to go away hungry!

Sam Kauffman August 12, 2022 at 11:07 AM Yummy Milt! Wonderful menu for a barbecue. I can smell the burgers and dogs cooking on the grill! And, as far as I'm concerned, a burger isn't a burger without cheese! Enticing. Congrats and five fives for your win! L Milton Hankins August 12, 2022 at 1:13 PM Thank you so much, Sam. I love a good juicy cheeseburger!

Alexis Y. June 4, 2022 at 7:41 PM Hi Milt, I really enjoy a grilled hotdog. The way you described it made me like it more. What are you firing up on the grill? Best wishes in the contest. Have a nice day and weekend:-) Alexis L Milton Hankins June 4, 2022 at 8:29 PM Now that there's just me at home, I don't grill anymore, Alexis. I get invited to lots of cookouts, though. You have a nice weekend, too.

I Am Anaya June 3, 2022 at 7:52 PM I love hot dogs! Can't go too long without having one, they are an event. I like mine warm, with mayo please. Yessss! L Milton Hankins June 3, 2022 at 9:11 PM Ah, thanks, Anaya. I prefer mustard. I have discovered that folks in different parts of the country (and the world, for that matter) eat their hot dogs with their own special condiments. Endless variety, I'd say.

Jenna Logan June 2, 2022 at 1:31 PM Only grilled is a hot dog worth eating. What time do we eat? L Milton Hankins June 2, 2022 at 1:45 PM Hmmm...I don't think I have any in my freezer. How about grilled bratwurst? Now that I have.

Caren Krutsinger June 2, 2022 at 3:52 AM Oh, yummy yummy; this one is a winner. Hot dogs for breakfast now! L Milton Hankins June 2, 2022 at 10:11 AM I love 'em, especially in the summertime. Too bad they are not at all healthy for me. I eat 'em anyway.
