The World's Best Food Served Here
The World’s Best Food Served Here
By Elton Camp
Judd’s Hamburger Shack does tell
That the world’s best is what we sell
And about a mile on down the street,
“Our fine fried chicken can’t be beat.”
Another says, “Try our famous catfish.
For none better can you possibly wish.”
There’s “Vegetables cooked homestyle
Our food is just extremely worthwhile.”
Then, “Our delicious desserts are yummy.
Come put some of them into your tummy.”
And “Our spicy Mexican food is a treat.
We guarantee that it can’t possibly be beat.”
Then I see “Come and eat Japanese style.
So, do yourself a favor and give it a trial.”
On and on the restaurants proudly boast
And claim that their food is just the most
But near the edge of town is a place I see
Its truth in advertising is amazing to me
It looks like a clean little Chinese place
And no extravagant words does it waste
“OK Chinese Food,” the sign does say
Means the food’s not great, but it is okay?
Poor command of English might it be?
Or perhaps it is an example of honesty
