an ode to my true love

I feel it has been an age, my love

My heart is a cage filled with fluttering doves

The scent of you drives me mad with hunger

a rustic tang of fire and smoke —the world's first wonder

With relish I delight in you and I see stars

You have bewitched me, dressed as you are

You taste of hot summer days and a cool subtle breeze

You cheesy masterpiece you—all done with such ease

You are all this and more and hopelessly I adore

The feelings you bring I cannot ignore

Hundreds lined up for miles all patiently wait

In anticipation to view the sum of your traits

Apollo, blessed is he, must herd the Great cattle

Their descendant's now roam over green rolling pasture

How lucky am I to receive this great pleasure?

Modernity is mine with time to devour in leisure

For you, my good sir—I would earnestly murder

All because you are my true love: The Burger
