A New Monster On the Loose

A New Monster on the Loose

By Elton Camp

I suppose that honesty is never a defect
One product’s name is so scarily correct

For it is certainly a monster, yes indeed
For a day, no more sodium or fat will need

It’s Hardee’s fast food we thank for this treat
The Monster Biscuit for breakfast is complete

It contains bacon, sausage, ham, egg and cheese
With a made-from-scratch biscuit holding these

It has more cholesterol than you need all day
For only a bit more add hash rounds, they say
      


Included in this (at no extra charge): 
2300 mg sodium (1 tsp. salt) [Daily Value = 2400 mg] 
275 mg cholesterol [Daily Value = 300 mg] 
18 g saturated fat [Daily Value = 20 g] 
57 g fat [Daily Value = 65 g] 
30 g protein 
38 g carbohydrates 
790 calories
