a poem by my 5 year old great nephew

HOT DOGS

Hot dogs are hot or warm
Hot dogs are dead pigs or turkeys
Hot dogs are healthy for you
Hot dogs are red
Some hot dogs are red with white spots
Hot dogs are great for dinner or lunch

You could eat the red part by itself with no bun
or you could eat it with the bun
You could have mustard with the hot dog on the bun
and you could have ketchup on the bun

I love the bun with the red part by itself
No mustard
No ketchup
Hot dogs are wonderful
Hot dogs are good with water, milk or juice
or…
it could go good with popcorn and a movie!!!

The End

    As you know, I too love Hot Dogs. A beautiful tribute to a much maligned foodstuff.

    It must be a 5 year old thing. My son would eat hot dogs for breakfast, lunch, and dinner if we let him. Which we sometimes do. Shut up.
