Cookout

Steaks on the grill,
  Used to give me such a thrill.
  Tender, juicy red meat,
  Was quite the treat!
  Crispy fat around the edge,
  Running juice down the chin.
  Oh boy! Let's do it again!
  Now as I pull out the meat,
  Looking for a treat.
  Marinate it for hours,
  It just doesn't flower!
  The smell, as always, is there.
  But the taste,
  Is a waste!
  Not me, I don't think
  Our meat is no longer in the pink!
  So now I pull out the grill,
  Grill some chicken,
  Half of which I'll chill.
  Charcoal burning white,
  Could of had a steak tonight!
