Being of curious and analytical mind, I waste much time tracking down Google searches to Spinning. Most, of course, put in “spinning” hoping to find a wheel and flax, I suppose, with John Cheever’s “The Swimmer” riding a high second place. But this one this morning intrigued me, “polish deli Grand Rapids.” Well, I hope he found a place, with Easter coming and all, but the Google Search included one site that had the words, “polish sausage…jalapeno cheese” and I can’t get the damn phrase out of my mind. Sing-song style, it’s spawned this jump-rope ditty:
Polish sausage, jalapeno cheese
Bowlegged, pigeon-toed, well-knocked knees
Sauerkraut, horseradish, cold or hot
Easter, Meester, with a vodka shot.
Again, I do apologize.
