RKS Poetry Anthology (All We Get Are The Coffee Grinds): “Cheap eats”

Cheap eats

Bill and Mona went to McDonalds for the all-American meal

Disguised hamburger with cereal

Hamburgers and shakes

It weren’t but minutes later until Bill was seized with the quakes

And Mona began to groana

Apparently the deal on Big Meal

Had their stomachs screaming for an appeal for the inhuman squeal

The pain became impossible to beat

And shortly after the ambulance transported them to a medical retreat

Stomachs emptied by an ominous looking steel machine

And whatever was pumped out looked ever so mean

The moral of the story is if you get change from your dollar

You’re going to be sick and holler

But if you insist on not heeding my word

And being a turd

Make sure if you eat a McDonalds regularly

To reserve a plot at your local cemetery
