A Visit To the Fast Food Joint

A Visit To the Fast Food Joint

By Elton Camp

Subway recently got into a pinch
By depriving us of a single inch

But very much worse we see every day
If, to the burger place, a visit we pay

The pictures look so appetizing
The actual product’s surprising

The picture looks crammed with meat
Such a terrific burger just can’t be beat

The bun looks especially fresh and tall
What we get isn’t much like that at all

Photo lettuce is abundant and green
In the sandwich, little is to be seen

Condiments oozing out we spy
The real burger is awfully dry

Picture pickles are plainly in view
What we are served has but a few

Can this be what’s depicted on the wall?
Because it doesn’t look much like it at all
