Mrs. (Carnegie Deli Owner) Levine's Lament :
Change,
the watchword in Life
is not always for the better;
It has been like a knife
for me and The Carnegie.
As even the most delicious bagel can get moldy,
a faithfully devoted may wife seem too oldy
with her imploring boring--
until- and I know It sounds more than a bit absurd---
but about it you may have already heard --
a Thai Restaurant stole our stuff
after their family member played sneaky and rough.
With a sympathetic smile hiding her guile,
a trim dress emphasized her thigh
as she totally captured my husband's eye.
And now it's in Bangkok you'll find OUR pastrami piled high
(perhaps even upon a Jewish seeded rye
flown in from LA earlier in the day?)
While I can understand that our recipes now star on their menu,
why, oh why, did she first have to steal my husband too?

From the NYP article:
......(Mrs.) Levine lost her lease on annex space in a building next door a few years ago.
She went through a bitter divorce from ex-husband “Sandy” Levine, who carried on a long-term affair with a former waitress and allegedly stole Carnegie’s pastrami and cheesecake recipes. The recipes were allegedly then used in the girlfriend’s family’s restaurant in Bangkok, Thailand.
