THE STEAMED CHEESEBURGER MAN
It seemed more truth than legend,
Beside the road sat a steam engine…
In the shape of a stand,
Consumer demand
For some new product alleging.
–
The choice was surprising to view,
A new style of burger to chew…
And hot dogs as well
For less to the till,
Steamed hamburgers were something new!*
–
The man in the engineer’s hat,
Explained the process drained fat…
Out of the patty,
‘Though grey, wasn’t shabby
In flavor when cooked like that.
–
Alas, he moved around,
Until the best traffic he found…
He then moved away
In Florida (?) to stay,
The venture here was rocky ground!
–Jonathan Caswell
