Hot Dog Flavored Water


What do you do with the hot dog flavored water?

After boiling the tubed steak made of:
            17% edible pork trimmings
            64% mechanically separated chicken carcasses
                        squeezed through a sieve
            19% powdered preservatives
                                    (potassium lactate, sodium’s
                                    diacetate, phosphate, nitrate,
                                    and erythorbate)
                        red food coloring,
                        corn syrup, and
                        beef stock

I ponder over the sweet aroma wafting from
            the pot of hot dog broth/stock/bouillon/consommé.

And after it slowly cools I poor it upon
            my dog’s bowls and watch as they furiously
            lap the deliciously (almost intoxicatingly)
            wonderful elixir.
