Unyielding

My kingdom for a sausage
that can be removed.
Not bound by other hostages;
chained, and stuck, and glued.
Give me the option,
drama free,
to choose to take just one,
without performing surgery
to solve the riddle of the bunch.

What I wouldn't give
for a yielding pack of rashers.
with an actual pull-back lid
not the Fort Knox standard.
The worst is when it says
peel back and reseal
when, in fact, you need a blade
and brute ferocity.
