But the Brats Wouldn't Come (A Song)

I went to Packers Family Night on 8/5/17. Before the game, I tried to get a brat at the Johnsonville tent for myself and my child. It took almost 45 minutes. I was not alone. 

Well they…

Musta not reckoned there’d be such a hunger

They were comin’ up empty but still taking orders

We chatted with one man who was buyin’ for four

And a single mom wranglin’ around even more

We had one thing in common – our desire to eat

But soon we were bonded in our heated speech

And everybody wanted some

But the brats wouldn’t come

And the dogs were all gone

It was starting to rain and there was lightning nearby

And I swear to this day, I saw a sweet child cry

Now, no one was blamin’ the man on the grill

But we all felt like cursin’ the Man on the hill

It’s a lesson you’d think was already taught

When you’re expectin’ an army you should plan for a lot

And everybody wanted some

But the brats wouldn’t come

And the dogs were all gone

Update: Johnsonville has heard my cries.

It shall not dissuade me in the least from enjoying your flavorful meat selection. I just needed to vent, poetically. Thank you.

Really, really cool. We'll follow that up with some #Bratsgiving love of our own to those good folks. Thanks for the great example!
