You’re left with a dilemma
as you demolish your Quarter Pounder with Cheese
what was it – in the burger – or the sauce that
made your mouth drool at the sight of it?
They don’t call it a special sauce for nothing
As you retrieve the gherkin slice for the umpteenth time
Seasonings form a list in your head – everything from
Tomato and Onion to Mustard, salt and vinegar, and
Yet, although it makes your tastebuds go – identifying it is a mystery
