The Heart Attack Grill

The Heart Attack Grill By Elton Camp (Incredibly, all of this is true.) Deceptive advertising nobody can claim Take a look at this Las Vegas café’s name Sign at the door gives customers warning fair That it’s bad for your health to eat in there Fake medical titles are given employees of the place Servers are “nurses” & “doctor” the owner does embrace On a conspicuous sign put out for everyone to see People who weight over 350 pounds eat there free Two customers have had attack while eating there Which isn’t surprising if you consider the café’s fare Flatliner fries, bypass burgers and butterfat milkshake Are among the very unhealthy choices diners can make The restaurant has been in operation now for seven years Death of its 600-pound spokesman should’ve raised fears In two months, two customers have collapsed while eating Perhaps they didn’t believe the warning sign’s greeting The grill’s spokesman died when he was just twenty-nine The two customers survived and didn’t really flatline As a spot to eat, Heart Attack Grill I don’t highly rate To be eating there might seem like one is tempting fate

Thanks, I am trying to write material different from what is often posted. Some like my writes and others don't. It's just a fun hobby and I don't mean any of them to be "great literature." Elton
