Long, Long ago, in the East hemisphere,
Where the food is authentic and dank,
Lived three Greek poets: Ethos, Pathos, and Logos,
and their little rotweiler named Frank.
One evening the Greecians waxed hungry indeed,
and decided to go out to eat
(when considering how much the Greecians urn,
it was really a jem of a treat)
So they put on their best, and were really well dressed,
in their Frat-party bed-sheet style Togas
And they set out to dine in "It's Greek to Me"
until they were stopped short by Logos.
Said he, "Know ye not that such food is chock full
of cholesterol and MSG?
And statistics do show that such substances will
cause your death before you're 63?"
Replied Ethos, "Good friend, I'm a fine conneiseur,
and I know what is good and what's not!"
And Pathos appealed to Logos' lusts,
and he said "Dude, the waitress is hot!"
"Well, I still would prefer that you both would defer
to the facts and statistics of science."
Logos' plea just offended the friends he'd befriended
and undermined Ethos' self-reliance.
Replied Ethos with a huff, "Why, you insolent wuff!
Do you challenge my authority?"
Pathos went for endorphins, saying "Think of the orphans!
This restaurant donates to charity!"
At this moment, young Frank, giving his leash a yank,
Ran out in the middle of the street.
Ethos yelled, "Come back!" Pathos muttered "O crap!"
and Logos cried "Streets are unsafe!"
And wouldn't you know, a sweet chariot swung low,
and Frank gave a yelp of despair.
Pathos broke down and cried as sweet Frankie died
While Logos inspected his hair.
Ethos tried CPR, (He'd been trained in first aid)
but it was to no avail.
Logos said, "Well, he's dead, and his spirit has fled."
and Pathos let out a wail.
But Logos said "It's ok, the fact known today
is that all dogs will go up to heaven.
Frank's gone, his remains
Must not be in vain!(s)
So they went right back home circa 7.
They never decided which restaurant was best,
but in the end it all turned out alright.
Cause they pulled out the grill, and they brought forth the kill,
and had a delicious frank roast that night. :)
