Jack Spratt

JACK SPRATT Mc Donald's food is unhealthy it's thought Food is food no matter where it's bought When encountering starvation on your traveled road You'll not hearing them saying "McDonalds? I'd rather eat a toad!" People in war zones are thin but not by choice They have no McDonalds to make them fat of course It's not the food making Jack Spratt's wife fat Overeating is where the problem's at Cholesterol and calories are not what it's about It's greedy gobbling like the food will run out Exercising her legs more than her mouth AND Mrs. Jack's rear end then wouldn't be going south
