In Praise of the Mcrib Sandwich

In Praise of the McRib Sandwich

By Elton Camp

I am as excited as can be
McRib is at a café near me

To order and eat one is fun
Pork & BBQ sauce atop a bun

Adding spice to this delicious treat,
Its pickles & onion can’t be beat

I’m glad no unhealthy ham is found
Tripe & stomach lining are ground

Then this tasty restructured meat 
Is molded into a rib slab to eat

Also adding needed variety to my diet
I get over seventy ingredients per bite

It would be very hard for me to abide
Not getting enough azodicarbonamide

There’s calories, fat and sodium galore
So who could possibly ask for more?

To McDonald’s I’m going to rush down
While the wonderful McRib can be found
