Cooked Wieners

The first time I laid my eyes on a red Hawaiian hot dog,
snug in its soft starchy bun, I thought I might gag.
Friends and family know that I am not a fan of the hot dog,
wiener, or nitrate stick, as I prefer to call them.
Red.  Why red?  Nothing says "artificial meat-by-product
like a juicy red hot dog, cooked to perfection, covered
in mustard and relish.  Delicious!
