The funny burritos of New Orleans
are made with runny refried beans.
But a funnel's provided
for those who've decided
they don't want splats on their shirts or bluejeans.
My brother wanted to go out and get a burrito late one night after some partying. We were both so tired, I told him if he did get one, he'd have to put a nipple on it and take it to bed with him. That gave me the idea for this poem, which originally had a baby bottle-type nipple on it. But then I thought that it would be too hard to suck refried beans through, and a funnel would be a little more believable. Maybe I'm still a little too sleepy to even know what's believable!
