* lest there be any doubt about my love for the finer culinary delicasies of life

*

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".

From someone whose favorite breakfast treat on the run is pepperettes ... I loved this, ROFL! Wonderful cadence and rhyme as always Michael. I adore your wit my friend.

Best wishes,

But Deer, if they do give you farts
The thought just makes me faint of heart
For if that smell should permeate
Into my 'puter now it's late
I'll never get me off to bed
But it'll drive that cold from out my head

Fun write.

If she who dies with the most toys wins, then can I have some toy boys please?

But then again,
I'm such the glut,
and should not write
like such a--

Hmmm...

A mouthful IS more than enough,
and you'd think I'd learn to keep my mouth shut!

ROFL...I'd better go get some coffee now. Think I'll just skip breakfast...

Classics, indeed! Great to see this old gem again! Kinda makes me want to drag out "Caution, Wet Tunnel Ahead," along with your poetic response, Deer!

You have changed the grocery experience of many. I cannot look at canned meats with the casual disregard I once did. And now, you're moving onto the cookie aisle! What next? You crack me up.

OMG! You make them seem mouth watering. . . I still refuse to eat them but, thanks to you, I have a new low calorie appreciation for them and will chuckle for smiles to come when passing them by on my grocers' shelf.

My thanks to all you wonderful poets who have joined in to salute one of the truly great wonders of modern civilization....the incomparable vienna sausage. Remember....Halloween is approaching and two vienna sausages up the nostrils makes a wonderful walrus mask!!

Thanks again!!!!!!!!!!!!
