Poetry: Fast food

by Rick Robinson

Created on: July 27, 2009

A Light Night Stop

Oh thank you Lord for I see the light,

It looks like heaven for me tonight.

I need to eat food to soak up this beer,

I see the golden arches are growing near.

It's so close I can taste that combo #4,

But it only comes with 10 and I want 10 more!

Supersized please with a fry and a drink,

I'm so excited that I can't even think.

Please pull forward that will be a fortune,

I don't really care because money means nothin'.

I just want that food so I can eat,

I can just taste that processed meat.

Chicken McNuggets in all their glory,

Not enough BBQ or sweet & sour is all I worry.

I can't even wait to get home to grub,

I'm starving cause I drank to much at the pub.

I down the fries first, then 20 nuggets, and Coke,

I eat too fast and then I choke.

It all comes up with the beer from the bar,

And now I've got a real mess in the car.

Now I've got two problems on hand,

I'm still hungry and I have to clean the van.
