On the Wall
So one of my goals
Silly as it may seem
Is to be enshrined on the wall
At Jim’s Steaks
Yes, the world famous Jim’s
Taste treat to the stars
Absolutely one of the best steaks
With a wall of fame to match
Sports stars and movie stars
Minor celebrities and some major
Spanning the years
The 70s, 80s, 90s through today
So just the other night
Late as it usually is
I stepped through the threshold
And into the gleaming stainless line
And there is was
One the wall facing the line
A large flat screen TV
And on it
One of my shows
It was a piece we did on cheese steaks
Shot at Jims-
With Kurt Coleman of the Eagles
It was on a loop, running over and over.
I looked at it and smiled
Seems I made it
At least for a while
And it was modern
Not an autograph on a piece of paper
But a story
Indicative of the media as it exists today
My goal achieved
If only for its 15 minutes.
