An Expatriate
of Houston, far from his home,
Must face sacrifice:
"Any good Mex food
In the Boston area?"
"Sure-- Chipotle's great!"
Guacamole paste...

Nine weeks, no Shiner.
Why all the hoopla for Pabst?
(Hipster beerwater)
What's that stout bottle?
I spy Negra Modelo!

"I've been to Houston.
It seemed quite rural to me."
"Really? Where were you?"
"Angleton, Texas.
Isn't all Houston like that?"
"As it turns out, no."
