Fast Food To Go

Fast Food To Go By Elton Camp To get take-out at the fast food place It’s a gauntlet that you have to face The drive-through line extends so far Yours could be about the tenth car Then starts the ordeal that I so hate Pull up and wait, pull up and wait The driver of the car just ahead At least seven time the menu read It’s your turn the speaker to address Don’t imagine it is going to be express A recorded voice gives the offer for the day “May a take your order?” a human will say After ordering, expect to hear words as these “Would you now repeat your order, please” Attention deficit is required If, for that job, anyone is hired “Drive to the next window to pay” The distorted voice will then say Then when you manage to get that far, The cashier drops change beside your car Next comes the window for which you came The one where your food order you claim But one more stop should be expected Inside counter where the order is corrected
