Marshall's Last Day At Mcdonald's

Marshall’s Last Day at McDonald’s

By Elton Camp

It was Marshall’s very last day at work
And so the manager was being a jerk

“At your new job you won’t succeed.
They’ll learn you aren’t what they need.”

Marshall was tired of work & poor pay
But decided it was best nothing to say

“Your last task is to update the marquee.
When that’s done of this job you’re free.”

When the manager got to work next day,
He was shocked at what the sign did say

As told, Marshall had changed it all right
What he put gave him the greatest delight

The words for the public to see were these:
“Try the new McNasty with cheese”
