The Deception of the American Public - a Satire

The Deception of the American Public - A Satire By Elton Camp I’m so shocked I don’t know what to say We are shorted out of an inch at Subway About that delicious inch, I really care Without it, I leave as hungry as a bear At the place’s greed, I stand appalled Even if I can have fixings, one or all To measure, I’m not sure how to begin What if tomatoes stick out from the end? The bun’s length is the standard I guess But I’ve never measured it, I confess I want every millimeter coming to me But does Subway management agree If so, when the bread they shape They’ll apply to each a measuring tape The counter help will measure again To steal that inch is a horrid sin What’s good business they ought to see Because that inch is important to me
