Ode to the dog:
Oh Coney dog,
Let me feast my eyes
Upon thy slender frame
All smothered up with chili sauce
“Sumptuous” is thy name.
Savory is this Coney dog
Waiting on my plate
Onions heaped into a pile
Tempting their own fate.
Tasty mustard on the bun
Sharpens yet the taste
And when your body, I devour
I shall not one morsel waste.
Oh, Coney dog, come closer now
I know your aroma well
My taste buds tingle, tantalized
By your tempting smell.
Goodbye, sweet friend
I love you much
But if I'd had my druther
Since I have nearly eaten you
I wish I had another
