T-Day in Rochester

I am a Garbage Plate

with apologies to They Might Be Giants

Mustard, ketchup, onions, and beef,
hot sauce, baked beans, and toasted buns:

I am a garbage plate.
Tomatoes and lettuce and sweet relish:

I am a garbage plate.
Hot dogs and sausage, mac salad and cheese,
French fried potatoes and coleslaw:

I am a garbage plate.
