Mcdonald's To Mom: Bug Off

McDonald’s To Mom – Bug Off

By Elton Camp

In Arizona, disgraceful conduct is being seen
Because a parent wants McDonalds kept clean

Filth in the play areas Dr. Carr-Jordan found
The places refused to take action that is sound

She gave them notice and a chance to get clean
But days later the same conditions were seen

What she found was rotting food, dirt and hair
Such disgusting stuff was found most everywhere

Due to that, for dangerous bacteria she did check
What she found, children’s health could wreck

The germs that she found could such as these
Meningitis, nausea and gastrointestinal disease

McDonald’s, instead of working to get it clean
Ordered her out, not wanting a customer so mean

You would think her feedback they would extol 
Maybe even employ her to bring infection control

But if they do nothing or take action far too late
It certainly seems to invite regulation from the state
