I'm afraid the joke probably wouldn't translate.

I'm afraid that it's not what one prefers but that is totally wrong!
It says: I am able to hold a cheeseburger

Therefore, either your Japanese really sucks or that you feign helping others by relying on an online translator. Sorry mate.

I would still go for what MMM has provided.
Or, simply says チーズバーガーをください。

MMM's translation works best. You can't really distinguish "have" and "has" and still make a clear sentence. The joke just doesn't translate.

Mikado, to have would be ある。 Can't make the joke with that either. Closest would be チーズバーガーをあるできるか. Which just sounds stupid xD
