O, glorious bit of nourishment, Thy taste is truly heaven sent. Such pleasure thou expounds to me, My precious tube of ecstacy! Though many morsels touch my tongue Thine anthem ne'er shall be outsung. Sweet Machevellian delight Pervades my throat with every bite. There is no greature pleasure than Eight sausages packed in a can. The grandeur of thy sweet bouquet Is faint to take one's breath away. Thy juice and stunning succulence Is said to conjure flatulence And rumblings from the diaphram Unmatched, of course, except by Spam. But, from this land where Mozart played And Ludwig Van conciertos made, This land from where great music came Is it not right you make the same? Though other weiners may aspire To be as plump as Oscar Meyer Thy svelte, petitte, and sleek design Slide freely through these lips of mine. At weddings, thou art ever picked, With swedish meatballs on a stick To be the morsels of delight On that most joyous of all nights. My dearest treat, I bid thee well. I love thee more than words can tell. I take my leave....I must compose My "Sonnet to the Oreo". |

Severn....you're close. More like running nekkid throught the Vienna woods! Martie....if you're hungry, try a vienna sausage. They're great! Denise...Making you crack up cracks me up! Marilyn...You must realize Toerag is a man of class and distinction. He would never use this opportunity to attack me and my love for vienna sausages....but I'm, wearing a hard hat from now on, just in case! |

Beautiful, Balladeer. I'll never be able to eat another vienna sausage without thinking of you!! ------------------ Yesterday is history, tomorrow just a mystery. And if today is good to me how could I ask for more? |

Being of Scandinavian descent, I'm Finnished with sausages... I much prefer Swedish meatballs myself - with lots of sauce.... [This message has been edited by Nan (edited 11-19-1999).] |

I'm with Hoot... you've already proven you can write an epic about having nothing to write about... and now... Vienna sausages??? ROFLMAO!!! And you're right, 'Deer one... Toerag is the epitome of class and the finest, most distinguished gentleman in existence. *G* On the other hand... there's his motley crew. *G* That's some macho image the bug man presents, don't you think??? Dancing nekkid in Vienna woods, slurping succulent sausage sauce off his chin? *EG* |
