Doc Freud preferred Viennese franks
But beef, or of pork pulled from shanks?
What's certain is dogs
made Freud dream of logs
repressed in his memory banks
Pictured: The classic Chicago hot dog. Note: No ketchup.

The Vincentennial
We started our centennial tribute to Vincent Price on May 17, 2011, here. This monster marathon was our part in the annual Countdown to Halloween. It crawled along until it breathed its last on March 17, 2012.

That's why I could never live in Chicago. No Kraut? Or brown mustard?
On hot dogs in Chi, there's no kraut
That condiment does get left out
But brown mustard smeared
on "brats" is endeared
with kraut piled high---this we tout!
For dogs in Chicago we drool
from death beds way back to pre-school
In school we are taught
how hot dogs are wrought
No ketchup's the one golden rule
It simply brings tears to my eyes
when people put ketchup on fries
I get wobbly legs
when it's poured on eggs
On "dogs"?--that's the big booby prize!
The condiments must be composed
of relish so green that it glows
plus onions and pickles
and mustard that trickles
But ketchup on hot dogs? That blows!
It's how all us Chi-kids were bred
This phrase was reiterated
If ketchup is shown,
turn tail and run home
"It's best to go hungry than red"
A dog served with catsup's not chaste
but one can account for bad taste
Like gardens need weeding
our children need breeding
or red sauce on hotdogs is placed
A "rebel", to hot dog, will douse it
with ketchup but that will just louse it
up beyond good taste
and , O, such a waste
It dies with no way to arouse it
All regions will find their own ways
On fries some will pour mayonnaise
With hot dogs tastes vary
and toppings get scary
but ketchup just gives me malaise
A baseball man, name of Butch Wynegar
once dipped a hot dog into vinegar
The skies opened wide
Dog God was defied
Decreed He, Original Sin occurred
That cuts it--the mustard, that is.
Whew! Thanks. After all that, I need a burger......with lots of catsup!
