Anything you heart delights,
Breakfast donuts, rolls or toast,
Wash it down with a coke,
Go down the street if you wish,
There you’ll find a different dish,
Sausage, bacon, ham and cheese,
On bagels or biscuits ~ They aim to please,
Americans eat lunch on the go,
Drive throughs help the working soul.
Those golden arches in the sky,
Maps aren’t needed to arrive,
Hardees, Burger King, Arby and Rax,
Pizza Hut, Dominoes all serve and tax,
Dinner is the family meal,
Where everyone eats their fill,
Many buffets line the streets,
American, Italian and Chinese,
Americans eat and eat and eat,
All they want ~ All they please,
Now the fattest nation on earth,
Pounds tallying and expanding girth,
Anger grows as people get fat,
Declaring ignorance of nutrition facts,
Big Macs, Whoppers, French Fries too,
Are more than likely going to kill you,
300 fat grams in one hamburger,
A 1000 calories ~ Not an ounce of sugar,
“A trust is broken”, the people cried,
“All you restaurants told us lies,”
Buffets add to this murder plot,
Eat all you want and worry not,
Self control isn’t a thought,
Getting fat isn’t their fault,
“McDonalds, Long Johns and Ryan’s Buffet,
Now we’re going to make you pay,
Make us fat and we’ll sue you,
And we want more than a million or two,”
Both side now have lawyerd up,
Each spouting that the other’s corrupt,
A judge is going to have to hear this case,
But even he can’t make the fat erase. [comments] => 5 [counter] => 209 [topic] => 4 [informant] => tifrob [notes] => [ihome] => 0 [alanguage] => english [acomm] => 0 [haspoll] => 0 [pollID] => 0 [score] => 7 [ratings] => 2 [editpoem] => 1 [associated] => [topicname] => news )

I always liked wearing those dark shades to town, you know, the ones with the polarized lenses. So that everyone that looked at me, would instead see a reflection of themselves, and maybe find something about themselves to improve, instead of pointing at others.

This is too cute and too true. LMAO. People know what they are eating. These places don't point a gun and force them to drive in and eat there. No one wants to take the responsibility for their lack of common sense. Yes, America is an ever expanding country, for sure.
