Awesome


Awesome                 

My hamburger order was pronounced “awesome”.
Considering I was dining in a “Burger Lounge”
I’m not sure my choice was worthy of the exclamation.

I’d like to propose replacement
Of our current crew of superlatives.
How does “swell” strike you?

With the emphasis on the second syllable,
I can imagine the growing symphonic brass---
What’s that; there is no second syllable?

I guess that rules out “nice” and “yes”.
“Super” could be reincarnated,
And wait-staff  can wear leotards and capes.
