Ode to Burgers


I wrote this for my poetry class:

Ode To Burgers!

Petite sesame seeds sprinkled on a golden bun
Embracing a warm, juicy patty,
A slice or two of cheese-
Pepper jack, Cheddar, Swiss, you can't go wrong.
Oh! Beloved sandwich of the gods,
It's time to go on a burger run!

What would you like-
"Have it your way"!
Lettuce, Tomato, Pickles and Onion
Don't be shy, are Mushrooms your style?
Pair your burger with some french fried friends,
Have a seat, enjoy, stay awhile!

A comfort food in its own right,
An emblem for America
Butter Burgers at Culver's
Double-Doubles at In-N-Out
Or good, old-fashioned Whoppers at Burger King
A burger's where it's at, it's certainly my thing!

Burgers make a bad day better
Burgers make a good day great
There's a burger for every occasion 
It'll cure whatever ails ya'
So you might as well go get a burger-
It never fails ya'!
