Filet Mignon

Opportunity surrounds me;  
like a restaurant menu,  
pick and choose which items  
best suit my palate -  
But I'm afraid my mouth is
too dry  
to fully appreciate the savor  
of these new cuisines;  
tho they are quite fresh,  
well prepared,  
and, no doubt, more nutritious  
than my usual burger stand.  
Somehow  
the burger stand seems more appetizing.  
 
I know it is quite strange  
to crave a tasteless hamburger  
when filet mignon is on the table,  
however, I think what I truly crave  
is the familiar atmosphere.  
People who understand why I'm there,  
because they have been doing  
the same for years;  
keeping with the daily tradition  
of quick and familiar.  
Tho often fantasizing of gourmet,  
new would be  
too much of a bother to find agreeable.  
 
Thus, we remain satisfied  
with the everyday grease ball burgers  
and soggy fries.
