The Acorn On Oak
The hamburgers, giant meatballs
Was all they really were but for
ONE MILLION DOLLARS you got
It just EXACTLY like you wanted it
Or I sure as hell did! Oh, hell yes!
The guy asked me did I want
Another one and I said damn right
I want another one! HELL YES
I want another one and I have
Never looked back! Oh, hell no!
I asked the guy why it's called
The Acorn On Oak and he said
Because Oak Street and also how
God sees the end in the beginning,
He sees the TREE in the SEED!

Usually they will then ask for
Your name which really makes
No difference so I might say
GEH KACKEN or I might say

Here's how to get a reservation
At any restaurant you want —
Or not just a reservation but
A table right away, the best one
In the house and if not then
They can GEH KACKEN!

You call them up and here's
What you say — 'Hello,
'I'm coming over, I like to eat
'And I'm not afraid to pay for it,
'So take care of me and if not
'Then you can GEH KACKEN!'
Usually they will then ask for
Your name which really makes
No difference so I might say
GEH KACKEN or I might say
YOU CAN CALL ME PISHER!
The Golden Ox
You and I, my love, so many nights
Driving on Clybourne past the Golden Ox
In the years I was with Phoenix Table Mat,
And later when I joined Quick Service Textiles
At Walter Gips’ urging we still often spoke
Of the Golden Ox and planned to eat there
But we never ate at the Golden Ox
And now we never will.
