Give Me A Double!

                                

Waiting
Just a little while

Wondering

‘bout double cheeseburgers

Stacked little burgers

Smaller than the palm

Of my hand

Waiting

Anticipating

Steamed buns

Spirals of onion

Round and round

Old style pickles

Mustard

Cheese

Ready for my

Delectable

Double cheeseburgers

Hmmm!

Grease drippin’

Down my chin

Effortlessly falling

Onto wax paper

Encapsulating

All of the flavor

Hmmm! Hmmm!

 Service with a smile

Precious cargo

Kindly delivered

On a silvery platter

Jewels of delight

Double cheeseburgers

All the way

With fries overflowing

Drenched in brown

Savory gravy

Double cheeseburgers

A cardiologist’s nightmare

But seriously…

What do I care?

My heaven—

On Earth
