Ode to the Sandwich

David Hurley

Oh sandwich,

how lovely

you can be.

Filled with more layers

than an ogre like onion

where we find, when we open

between your sides,

the meat of the situation.

Every time, you are filled

with an assortment of goodness:

maybe some bologna,

cheddar cheese,

and ketchup to please us.

Sure, there are many types

but you are truest

when you are simplest

for you can whip up in a jiffy,

maybe with Skippy.

After all,

your origins are said

to come from a man

playing poker

with only one free hand.

That tray of his lunch

too difficult it would seem

and instead, mashed food together

into the genius of your genealogy.

expeditious

delicious

nutritious

*munch*

I look forward

to our next meating.
