Best Fast Food Poems
View that cholesterol wad
Sizzling cheeseburger
Hold the veggies, add ketchup
Tape burger to thighs
Hungry heart pulsates
Thump, thump, thump
Stop!
April 28, 2011
*Entry for Gwendolen’s Fast Food Epulaeryu contest
PS -- Some are misunderstanding. The "Stop" is the sound of the heart stopping when cholesterol clogs the arteries.

When at home its often fast food I crave,
might even be leftovers that I saved,
always in a race,
open and shut case,
thank God for my nuke everything microwave!

I can't wait to unwrap it
The tasty nuggets
The smell, I gotta have it
The greasy hot fries
Box bursting with joy
Oh my gosh
Toy!

We cook it ! Feel your tonsils tingle!
Add mayonnaise, lettuce, a pickle.
Lost both tonsils at ten
so can I ask you when
my change comes to more than a nickle?

The streets are lined with golden arches,
Plastic smacking lips and smiling chef faces,
Hamburgers competing with pizzas,
Who are competing with Oriental take-outs,
Who are competing with Italian subs,
Who are competing with the world's longest dogs.
Oh Lordy, I'm singing the fast food blues.
Man, I have the shakes so bad,
My stomach is growling from hunger pangs,
The lines are long at Hamburger Haven,
No parking available at Zippy Zotto's Pizzas,
East Meets West doesn't open till 4:00 P.M.,
and Doxies is closed until further notice.
Oh Lordy, I'm singing the fast food blues.
The car is heading a different direction
To the other side of town,
My eyes are darting----giving me a wild-woman look,
Searching for that special place to fill my appetite,
I think of Mom's cooking circa pre-microwave,
Chicken with dumplings and cakes from scratch.
Oh, Lordy, I'm singing the fast food blues.
Time is wasting and my hunger is wanting,
Anything will do even a Bologna sandwich,
Piled high with lettuce, oozing with mustard,
Between processed cheese and rye bread,
A hotdog-on-a-stick will fill in a pinch
With a side of fries drowning in Ketchup.
Oh Lordy, I'm singing the fast food blues.
Driving along the interstate signs are larger,
I see a truck stop along the way,
Big Harry's for Big Appetites, Home Cooking,
My weak knees are knocking as I stumble through
The double-glass doors in time to see,
"Please wait to be seated----microwave oven in use."
Oh Lordy, I'm singing the fast food blues.

A hamburger with the lot,
Is where all the fat got,
French fries are the same,
Cheeseburgers too pretty lame,
They all make your arteries clot.

Boogers in the burgers,
Flies upon the wall.
Pee in the pickles,
Curtailed cheese to top it all.
Old and moldy lettuce,
Yucky tomatoes too.
I wont say whats in the french fries,
But if you only knew!
Blood is in the ketchup,
Acids in the drinks,
I'm stating to regret eating here,
Cause man this really stinks.
The chickens alive and kicking,
Yet cooking on the grill.
I really have to admit,
This is worse then working in the mill.
There's a skunk in the bathroom,
Underwear on the roof.
The cops are over there arresting,
Some crazy looking goof!
How anyone could eat here i just dont know,
But this is my last time coming,
I think i aught to go!!!

McDonald's and Burger King fare
Fuel obesity fair and square
Fast food tastes so good
We eat all we could
Truth be told, we really don't care!

If you think the first restaurant was bad,
Well this one Is worse,
There’s a dead guy in the kitchen,
Brought in by the hearse.
Boogers in the burgers,
Flies are in the soup,
The smell of chicken clutter,
Is coming from the coup.
The cow is just a mooing,
And spitting in the fries,
The chicken is a cooking,
We can all hear her cries.
A boa constrictor is in the dishes,
Hissing at the cat,
The pig is just a squealing cause their pumping out his fat.
If you order a drink here,
You may live to regret,
For the first taste of wonder,
Is a rat “that little pest”!
I’ll put it plain and simple,
In fact, I’ll tell it well,
If you decide to keep eating here,
Surely you’ll go through hell.

There was a young man from North Park,
Who would swim near the beach after dark.
The move of the ocean
Always set him in motion,
Until the night he became dinner for a shark.

I know we shouldn't overeat
And junk food's a definite no-no
But I admit I'm a fast food junkie
Who cares if my big belly shows
Don't dance for nobody anymore
That's silly stuff's gone forever
People either like me for who I am
Or bite me, I mean... whatever!
Happy as hell in my bountiful skin
Not trying to impress the ladies
Content to just sit and eat myself silly
Nothing underhanded or shady
“Silly old man” I heard someone say
But I'm nearing the end of the road
Allow me this pleasure before I depart
My cravings are on overload!

Toasted Italian bread. Yum!
I love tuna, but
today - beef and provolone,
mayo, onions, greens. . . .
I open my mouth
and insert
Foot!

Hot peppers and spicy horseradish
a gut-punch to the solar plexus
Snake venom with moldy cheese
not tonight, if you please...
Tadpole skins and locust larvae
strains my stomach of iron
But a bloody Mary eggnog combo
gags the esophagus of this Hawaiian
Wonder how I developed my bizarre sense of taste?
~ A flush of the toilet for whoever said, 'Haste makes waste'

FABRICATED LIFESTYLES,
FAST FOOD,
FAST TIMES,

Dramatic Verse
Tacos are fine when wrapped tight
top with all the extras
onions, lettuce and some cheese
served with love
It is the kind of snack
I want to
taste!
