I had five hot dogs for dinner <br />Jen and the five kids were gone <br />They were off to the mall for a winner: <br />Five dresses for big days to come <br /> <br />My big day was tied to the news <br />To a beer and a black iron pan <br />No veggies to light the bright fuse <br />Of love's health in a middle-aged man <br /> <br />Ahhhh, we are fools at best without them <br />The better half blithely bespoke <br />For man cannot live on hot dogs alone <br />He needs love, and a polished nail poke <br /> <br />On our own our sweet freedom would slay us <br />We would wiener ourselves to the grave <br />But our wives and our kids won't betray us <br />They've been placed here to foolish men save<br /><br />Dwight Jenkins<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/hot-dogs-2/
