Golden Arches

POEM " GOLDEN ARCHES " by martin gedge A billion mounds of revenue to satisfy the man a building block won't stop the Kroc to monopolize the brand across a thousand countries just to occupy the land and prey upon a feeding frenzy zoo relentless pitch investing was the meaning of success put to every market share the weight of every test finding the right formula to suit the suitor best with the others lacking size to fit the shoe from every single burger to the french potato guy so quick with every chicken or filet o' fish to fry another golden nugget in the apple of their pie and a double stack of Mac beyond compare a cold and chilly shake was just a break from soda pop while brewing every morning was your coffee good and hot the goal was never ending always changing couldn't stop and you can see the golden arches everywhere to think to crack an egg was just a leg up in the plan a bacon strip a sausage pig or slice of peameal ham to top it off a biscuit or a muffin plated jam with everything to feed your family they introduced an audience to a face and painted clown a company of characters to parade their way cross town for kids they built a fortune in a house with a playground and with every branch they plant another tree I once was an employee and to think it taught me well the satisfaction in knowing it was all suggestive sell the secret is the sauce and you know I cannot tell don't need to even ask or have the nerve for every Mickey D's there's a number here in case of every walk it touches every color every race the one that puts the arches on a child's golden face with every single smile that they serve.. by martin gedge.©
