'Remember White Castle Hamburgers? ' Poem by Linda Winchell

How many of you remember?
These tasty little treast?
'White Castle Hamburgers'
some say, they weren't made with real meat!

When I was little, I just couldn't wait!
to go out and buy me some!
I would savor every bite I took
and have White Castle boxes of fun!

My sisters and I would build houses
out of the castle boxes, those burgers came in!
We would pretend that we were Queens and Kings
and in the little castle boxes, we lived in!

But as I grew much older
those burgers had a different affect!
I loved them and ate a dozen
but then, they would give my belly heck!

Some called them, Misery Biscuits!
Some called them Sliders, and Gizzard Grenades!
But I have always loved their flavor and texture
and would wonder, how they were made?

I see where you can now buy them frozen
but I won't buy them anymore.
The price of those tasty morsels
will only prove to make one poor!

They use to be affordable
when they were family owned.
Now that they are a franchise
they've become more costly to afford.

I guess I'll just have to remember
Their taste, from way back when.
For unless some one buys me a few
I won't be eating White Castles again!
