I travel a lot. One of the joys of traveling is finding a good place to eat that doesn’t break the bank. After having spent a week in Cincinnati I was ready for something different, so I asked the hotel clerk for a recommendation and definitely found something different at Mary’s Hamburgers.
Mary’s Hamburgers
Mary’s Hamburgers
in Cincinnatti serves
The Queen Mary
and Big Kahunas;
decidedly gay
and delicious.
Husband. Father. Grandfather. Pilot. Pastor. Poet.

A Big Kahuna Burger? That burger is mentioned in “Pulp Fiction.” I wonder if they know it is real. Did you eat one? What was on it?

I appreciate that you describe the situation in a way that honors their good work without passing judgment on the people themselves.
I like “Cincinnatti serves.”
And of course, the punchline: “decidedly gay/ and delicious.”
It’s challenging and thought-provoking like good poetry should be.

I don’t remember what I ate, but it was good. I felt welcome (though observed) and left smiling and satisfied.
