According to the Lonely Planet website, out of 180 things to do in Auckland, having a White Lady hamburger from a long, white single-decker bus down a half-dodgy street near a car park has been voted the number one thing to do.

Unexpected bonus: Best poetry we've read (by a conservative estimate) this yr.

Then his burger is ready,
and he takes it
and leaves.
