tho they are quite fresh,
well prepared,
and, no doubt, more nutritious
than my usual burger stand.
Somehow
the burger stand seems more appetizing.

I know it is quite strange
to crave a tasteless hamburger
when filet mignon is on the table,
however, I think what I truly crave
is the familiar atmosphere.
People who understand why I/'/m there,
because they have been doing
the same for years;
keeping with the daily tradition
of quick and familiar.
Tho often fantasizing of gourmet,

too much of a bother to find agreeable.

And so stay satisfied
with the everyday grease ball burgers
and soggy fries. [comments] => 3 [counter] => 183 [topic] => 43 [informant] => nightwolf [notes] => [ihome] => 0 [alanguage] => english [acomm] => 0 [haspoll] => 0 [pollID] => 0 [score] => 0 [ratings] => 0 [editpoem] => 1 [associated] => [topicname] => oops ) Your Poetry Dot Com - Filet Mignon
