What you asked for was, No onions? Bang! the size of Paul Bunyan's bunions; And the salad you've looked forward to Has a bug that's coming toward you. Yet you can't eat home in the kitchen Even if your spouse would pitch in; High-end stove, so gleaming in looks, Filled to the brim with dusty books. So your options are circumscribed Warding off what was described. There, however, is safety at hand: Have your meals at a sidewalk stand. While you watch the curbside chef, Honest Jack, Abdul or Steph, Prepping food that's free of spittle, Rejoice! They'll make you fit as a fittle.</p>
