The World's Best Food Served Here

The World’s Best Food Served Here By Elton Camp Judd’s Hamburger Shack does tell That the world’s best is what we sell And about a mile on down the street, “Our fine fried chicken can’t be beat.” Another says, “Try our famous catfish. For none better can you possibly wish.” There’s “Vegetables cooked homestyle Our food is just extremely worthwhile.” Then, “Our delicious desserts are yummy. Come put some of them into your tummy.” And “Our spicy Mexican food is a treat. We guarantee that it can’t possibly be beat.” Then I see “Come and eat Japanese style. So, do yourself a favor and give it a trial.” On and on the restaurants proudly boast And claim that their food is just the most But near the edge of town is a place I see Its truth in advertising is amazing to me It looks like a clean little Chinese place And no extravagant words does it waste “OK Chinese Food,” the sign does say Means the food’s not great, but it is okay? Poor command of English might it be? Or perhaps it is an example of honesty
