In suffering I tread upon
A path of bitter stones
That crunch beneath my weary feet
As I in anguish roam.

And as I think on yesterday
It grieves me still to know
This purgatory I abide
The price to fall so low.

I see you on the grassy lawn
Beneath the verdant trees
Pretend I cannot hear your voice
As you call out to me.

Your harlot’s call I answered once
And did not heed the wise
Your promises were silken screens
To hide your venom’d lies.

I sought to fill a burning need
But left a burning scar
I learned a lesson hard that day:
How awful hot dogs are.

Suffering Shame

In suffering I tread upon
A path of bitter stones
That crunch beneath my weary feet
As I in anguish roam.

And as I think on yesterday
It grieves me still to know
This purgatory I abide
The price to fall so low.

Beneath the verdant trees
Pretend I cannot hear your voice

And did not heed the wise
Your promises were silken screens
To hide your venom’d lies.

I sought to fill a burning need
But left a burning scar
I learned a lesson hard that day:
How awful hot dogs are.

I was sucked in all the way to the last line. Here I was, wondering about some concerning new take on old morality and BANG! left field punchline, made all the better because the rest of the poem was so well constructed. Clever bugger. Thanks for making me laugh, I needed it today.

Sadly enough, I must draw the line here. I like hot dogs.
But the poem DID have good structure and all that, it was just missguided.
Take care.

Now, what have hot dogs ever done to deserve this caliber of verse? I must say I like this. It is well put.
And I agree with you, Kabob, processed foods are a lamentable thing. Keep it up.
