Now if I could only find me a decent Tenderloin
sandwich to go with my Chips, and something to Drink! (The Tomaso Collection)
As the yearly Hunt for the perfect, Classic Jumbo Tenderloin
Rolls On…
Every May, the Media likes to Salt ‘N Pepper us
with stories of People’s yearly Indianapolis 500 traditions, since after all
it’s the Gurr-Reatest’ Something Ruther…
And although I can No longer recall if I’ve
ever Had one? Since I only remember paying $9.00 for a Steak Sandwich during
the 2006 USGP Formula 1 race instead, but I digress…
Thus for over a Decade Now, I’ve lived
vicariously thru the written and spoken word
of one such person with the tradition of Hunting for the elusive,
perfect Classic Jumbo Tenderloin Sandwich at Mother Speedway every May! For
which this ‘lil Ditty’s in regards to and Good Hunting!
Testing Testing,
1-2, 1-2, Is this Thingy’ On?
“The Searcher”
I looked Under Stand J
I looked Behind the Museum
I Asked around the Pagoda
But They couldn’t Help Me either
They Call Me The Searcher
I’ve been Searchin’ Far and Wide
I Won’t Get to Taste what I Came For
Until I’m Trackside
I Asked Doug Boles
I Asked Jay Frye
I Asked Mark Miles
But He Couldn’t
Help Me either
They Call Me The Searcher
I’ve been Searchin’ Far and Wide
I Won’t Get to Taste what I Came For
Until I’m Trackside
People ten to Scoff at Me
They Think I’m Crazy lookin’ for the perfect
Tenderloin
Always interrupting Me to Say Hi George
When I’m putting Mustard on my Bun
Finding A Classic Tenderloin
I’ve been Searchin’ for Miles
Because I’m The Searcher
And I want A Real Tenderloin
And I Won’t Get to Get What I’m After
Until I’m trackside
I’ve learned Not to Stop at the First
concession Stand
But Yeah look at My Face, Ain’t that A Smile
I’m Happy when I’ve found My Classic Tenderloin
Cause I’ve Got Values and I Won’t be Denied
I’m lookin’ for Mine
You’re lookin’ for Yours
We’re Both lookin’ together, But we don’t Know
where to Turn!
They Call Me The Searcher
I’ve been Searchin’ Far and Wide
I Won’t Get to Taste what I Came For
Even if they’re now 13 Dollars and 99 cents
Until I’m Trackside!
This Lyrical Prose
