National French Fries Day
Yesterday, I learned too late,
Was something meant to celebrate -
A day when everyone should cry:
Hooray, hooray for the French fry!
To me, it isn't a surprise
At homage offered to French Fries.
They rank up with my favorite foods
And always will improve my moods.
Some won't eat them - too much oil!
My healthy intake they will spoil!
But to those folk, so lah-di-dah,
My answer is just one word - bah!
I don't need a special date
Reminding me what joys await
When served a crispy plate of fries.
(Of course, that's why I exercise!)
