Hotdog, a poem

A hotdog, humble, in its bun,
Yet within its form, the art begun.
Grilled to perfection, a golden brown,
A carnival joy in a world-renowned town.
The sausage, encased in tender dough,
Crafted with care, a flavor to show.
Herbs and spices, a delicate dance,
In this simple feast, we find romance.
A dash of mustard, a swirl of cheese
,Perhaps a drizzle of truffle to please.
A touch of aioli, finely prepared,
A meal that shows we truly cared.
With relish, pickles, and onions laid,
A masterpiece in every trade.
Gourmet it becomes, not a snack, but art,
A hotdog, elevated from the heart.
So here it stands, with grandeur gleamed,
A bite of joy, a chef’s dream.
In the world of fine cuisine, it now belongs—The hotdog reigns, where it’s never wrong.
