Corny

1955
My eldest sister
Is making corny dogs
Dipping half hot dogs on
An old pop cycle stick
Into thick pancake
Batter dropping
Each one into
The deep fat
Fryer with a
Chef’s face
The eyes
Glow red,
Using tongs
To take out each
Corny dog golden brown
We grab them as soon
As they cool dip them
In mustard a mouth
Watering treat for
Lunch never to
Be forgotten
Nor her gift
Of caring
About us
Little
Kids.
