I Know It's Extravagant, but What the Hey

Feb 4 05:29 UTC 1994

        I know it's extravagant
        But what the hey,
        I like to go out
        For lunch *EVERY* day!

        Not so much the food
        But the travel that's dear,
        'Cause I venture outside
        Of the local sphere -

        And journey to Surrey
        For a taste of curry

        Or to downtown Brussels
        For a plate of mussels

        Or to Guadalupe
        For wonton soup

        Or the heart of Dubuque
        For tomato and cuke

        Or Istanbul, Turkey
        For some nice beef jerky

        Or Ten Downing Street
        For hot cream of wheat

        Or darkest Duluth
        For a Baby Ruth

        Or the Plain of Jars
        For some chewy Mars Bars

        Or to South Dakota
        (Which Nino Rota
        Never saw)
        For a roast macaw

        Or to Santa Fe
        For curds and whey

        Or Texarcana
        For fried banana

        Or New Orleans
        For Boston baked beans

        Or Chicago, Ill
        For steamed land fill

        Or Guantanamo Bay
        For some Frito-Lay

        Or sunny Cannes
        For some moo goo gai pan

        Oh, the food and locale
        Don't have to match,
        Nor to be credible
        Need the food be edible,
        But it's surely a crime
        If the two don't rhyme.

I think #0 is a delightful bit of fun, probably puplishable in a good kids'
magazine with a bit of clean up (minimal). I just didn't have anything produc
tive to add yet.

Don't be so rude.  You wanna know something, ask politely and you 
will receive.  In fact, the less you ask the more you shall receive.
If you ask impolitely you will receive nothing.
