On the Road with Joe

A delightful tour of the United States and assorted locations through the mind of a deranged young genius, named Joe. A cynical and jovial treatment of our fine nation and its finer cities, this blog will focus on people, places, and the endless pursuit of candied corned beef.

The Sandi Patti Bratwurst Festival

I cooked brats for the entire world today. Some were more burned than others, and I have no hair on my right arm now. Sandi Patty sang some songs. It was a fireworks and symphony orchestra performance in Madison and it was good (I had to volunteer. Please note key-word). I will now perform a haiku: *Ahem!*

Sandi Patty sang,
The weather and brats were nice,
Hairless arms and booms!

Thank you.

Since you liked that one so much, here's a grill haiku (can you taste the sarcasm? you are my captive of this moment, so you MUST continue reading anyway). Even though haiku's are traditionally about something like the weather, I will neglect this.

Hairless and blistered,
My arms are blazing fire balls.
Here's your bratwurst, sir.

And here's another one.

Heavy burger smoke
Is charring my eyeballs. Tears!
I shed one billion.

Hmm. That one was pretty good. I'll leave you all with that. Good night.

I had grilled Haiku once. It sorta tasted like chicken. (what doesn't ?) I am actually much more fond of limericks (being Irish and all). How about this one.
There once was a young man named Joe. To the fireworks he's told he must go. While the fat lady sang he cooked for a gang then stayed later to watch the fine show.
Now you all know where Joe gets his sense of humor. Forgive me.

Ah, don't be so hard on your self. I've experienced your humor and it makes me laugh. Joe's humor makes me... Hey, look! A short-beaked Echidna!
