A Grill Does Not A Bed Make (Even When You're 80 % Lean)

Talk about a hot bed.

 A GRILL DOES NOT A BED MAKE

(EVEN WHEN YOU’RE 80% LEAN)

 

The hamburger pattie hadn’t slept a wink,

And he got up bushed and beat.

He might have been fresh ground beef,

But he still felt like dead meat.

 

His eyes were red and sore.

He felt fried and not quite right.

He had tried sleeping on the grill,

But tossed and turned all night.

Great personification. All you have to do is add a head, arms and legs, and chew.

And when he woke up, he discovered that he was in someone's stomach, already eaten . . . !
