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.
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!
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!
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
That's why I could never live in Chicago. No Kraut? Or brown mustard?

For dogs in Chicago we drool
ReplyDeletefrom 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
ReplyDeletewhen 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
ReplyDeleteof 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
ReplyDeleteThis phrase was reiterated
If ketchup is shown,
turn tail and run home
"It's best to go hungry than red"

A baseball man, name of Butch Wynegar
ReplyDeleteonce 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.
ReplyDeleteWhew! Thanks. After all that, I need a burger......with lots of catsup!
