THE HOT DOG

I speak of the large all beef Hot Dog right now,

As the deity of my atheism and my unholy cow.

I embrace my atheism with great relief

And with a strong and religious belief.

Every second Thursday I pay the Hot Dog homage

By extending to Costco at Woodbine my patronage,

And there to undergo an unholy, but tasteful dialogue

With a diet coke and an all beef unkosher hot dog.

Though wrapped in a non wafer bun,

I will certainly before I am fully done,

Religiously it embellish

With mustard and relish,

And quickly down it knowing full well

That by not believing in heaven or hell,

If surreptitiously I am taken or removed from life's ebb and flow,

The worst I will suffer is being all dressed up, with no place to go.
