Off the Mark by Mark Parisi for September 03, 2016

I’m sorry, Mark, I’m afraid I don’t get this one.

PS – What’s in hell?

yum yum………………

Kale…..Kale is in hell

Used to be an old rock ’n roll song titled Hot Pastrami.

Is the cheeseburger from Cabbage Key Inn?

I don’t really care for cheese on my burger, although a second patti and some bacon suit me fine. I love me some Jimmy Buffett, but I would take the Pastrami everytime.

Sorry, I want the beef hot and the cheese melted…

Cheeseburger In ParadiseBy: Jimmy Buffett1978Tried to amend my carnivorous habitsMade it nearly seventy daysLosin’ weight without speed, eatin’ sunflower seedsDrinkin’ lots of carrot juice and soakin’ up rays

But at night I’d had these wonderful dreamsSome kind of sensuous treatNot zucchini, fettucini or bulgar wheatBut a big warm bun and a huge hunk of meat

Cheeseburger in paradise (paradise)Heaven on earth with an onion slice (paradise)Not too particular not too precise (paradise)I’m just a cheeseburger in paradise

Heard about the old time sailor menThey eat the same thing again and againWarm beer and bread they said could raise the deadWell it reminds me of the menu at a Holiday Inn

Times have changed for sailors these daysWhen I’m in port I get what I needNot just Havanas or bananas or daiquirisBut that American creation on which I feed

Cheeseburger in paradise (paradise)Makin’ the best of every virtue and vice (paradise)Worth every damn bit of sacrifice (paradise)To get a cheeseburger in paradiseTo be a cheeseburger in paradiseI’m just a cheeseburger in paradise

Coda:I like mine with lettuce and tomatoHeinz 57 and french fried potatoesBig kosher pickle and a cold draft beerWell good God Almighty which way do I steer for myCheeseburger in Paradise.

Pastrami on dark rye (or pumpernickel), with lettuce, spicy mustard and a little dill relish. A few kettle-cooked chips on the side for crunch. Damn, now I’m hungry, and it ain’t lunchtime yet!

I’d sooner expect the spirit of a cow in paradise.

Purgatory is where you wait, not suffer burning. That is Sheol.

Looks more like a hoagie in hell.
