Is a Hot Dog a Sandwich?
S.E.Linn
Is a hot dog a sandwich?
I really can’t see,
why it sits in the bun
like a half-fallen tree.
The hot dog family
is quite hard to determine.
It’s not fried or roasted.
Neither British nor Cuban.
Dip it in ketchup,
but it’s not a grilled cheese.
Douse it with mustard,
not a Reuben though, jeez.
I just want a plain hotdog
like I loved as a kid.
Why's it left open?
Even burgers have lids.
There is simply one reason,
that hot dogs can’t make it.
Primarily since they just
lie down and take it.
Even spaghetti has a sandwich
to fill.
Chicken salad or egg,
either toasted or chilled.
But not our poor hotdog,
he’s left out of the pile.
Is a hot dog a sandwich?
Or are we all in denial?

Where's the Glory?
In breaking news, rehabilitated Republican Senator Johnnie Johnson (Pronouns: HE, HIM, HIS) called a press conference from the Men’s room of the New Orleans Louis Armstrong International Airport, Concourse B, across from the Ignatius Reilly’s Lucky Dog stand. The Senator had just returned from a sexual reorientation rehabilitation program in Memphis, TN after being publically disgraced at a Buckee’s Truckstop restroom soliciting sex from an undercover cop three months ago. He is a founding member of the Reformed Christians for Christ, a conservative, pro-family and ex-gay advocacy group. In the spirit of being reborn, Senator Johnson invited reporters to marvel at his plans for a major remodeling of airport bathrooms.
