Going To The Game

Written for dVerse Poets Quadrille –
This One’s Gone To The Dogs! The
challenge cooked up by De Jackson is to
write a 44 word poem with the word ‘dog’.
Here’s where the prompt took me.

Yeah, gimme one dog…
lotsa mustard, no kraut,
one dog with ketchup and relish,
and two chili dogs with cheese.
Drinks? Yeah…
an orange Nehi, a Yoo-Hoo,
and a Mountain Dew.
And three pretzels.
Can’t beat a New York City
dirty water dog, kids!
