Weiner Man

by D C Edwards   May 24, 2006


I wish
I wish I were an Oscar Meyer Wiener
Because then everyone would be in love with me

People always sing that song
But I've got a different jingle for them
My right fist has a first name
Its In-Your-Stupid-Face!
Its hyphenated

As a kid
I was obsessed with the melody
Of that giant weiner mobile
Penetrating the Horizon of my block

One day it stopped in front of my house
And I met
Mister Oscar Meyer Wiener-Man

One glance at that
Supreme Deity of wieners
And I knew
That Deep down
beneath the bun
there was a hero.

He Stepped outside
of his giant
beef-dog-school bus thing

and handed me
The treasured weeny whistle

I saw what I could only aspire to be
Because I could think of nothing I would rather do
Than travel the globe
And Bring joy to little wieners everywhere

But now I'm older
I have a family
I doesn't even eat hot dogs
And the weenie whistle
dosen't work anymore
I wish I had spent more time trying to become the man that was
my father
Or at least getting to know him a little better Before he died
