Mc D's

[Jerrybaldy]

I cannot visit Mc D's
without leaving feeling grimey.
I feel I have just sucked
an unwashed corporate dick.
I disdain the bloated denims,
the single fathers compensating
with large fries and Mcflurry.
I separate myself
from all these pigs in the trough.
I am only here to observe
and to suck the lard
from the bacon double cheese.
It is with regret
that I leave with fatty come stains,
all down my Ronald t shirt.

What snobbery you ooze here, like the mayo that squelched out when you bit down on the grilled offal!

Well done. hope the stains come out....

[Jerrybaldy]

was aiming for irony :D

LOLOL! I just ate some fish this past week from a fast food joint and literally felt like I had bathed in and drank a pint of grease---so this was timely and resonant with me.

[Jerrybaldy]

Shannon. Perfect.

This poem made me smile multiple times whenever I read it. And laugh! But is it restricted to McDonalds alone?

[Jerrybaldy]

Not Just Mc D's Sarah D, all the filth we fall for.
thanks for commenting and laughing :D

I thought the third and fourth lines were a tad overkill, the rest was more than ample to slay the subject. But hey, you've motivated me! (not that I needed convincing)

[Deriath]

I love the irony, I'm sure everyone has a moment like this! although I'm not too hard on myself about eating a Mc D's, it is heavily descriptive to the point where I can easily see a vivid image of it in my mind...unfortunately.

Jerry, one frequent comment about the legendary filmmaker, Preston Sturges, is that he could trick the skittish Hollywood establishment by slipping suggestive references past the censors. I've begun to think of JerryBaldy as kind of LitNet's version of Preston Sturges in that I can't believe how you're able to evade the moderators with impunity-- not that this is necessarily a bad thing. (One thing to keep in mind, though, is that younguns under the age of 18 often log on to this website in schools.)

Preston Sturges did this very subtly, though (as with Trudy's surname in the Miracle of Morgan's Creek) I'm afraid that some of the imagery and language found in some of your postings are a tad too blatant. Modern poetry runs more on suggestion than explicitness--in general, not just with earthy topics.

I do concur with you on some of the content--the whole concept of corporate "fast food" not only leads to obesity but still another reason for Third World Nations to despise the West. We're big (in more ways than one) on "recreational eating;" the rest of the world has to struggle to find enough food to stay alive.

Please don't go on the warpath against yer ol' Auntie, even though you may disagree with me. But go ahead and call me "Victorian" again, if you want! One question, though: If I must be a Victorian, may I be a female version of Robert Browning?

Dear Aunty (as I have come to think of you)
you read this as deryk went through a stage yesterday of dragging up older posts. Hence your reading was random. The younguns will no doubt get over my occasional overtness as they spend the rest of their time watching the type of pornography on the internet a young man such as myself in the 70s could only have dreamt of finding in a magazine by a railway. Writing poetry is about honesty to me. If a young adult is on this site rather than hairy minges.com then I have no apologies in not offering disney or macflurry. Poetry should not have a universal rating. As for the moderators I have my infractions but never for explicitness as the alternative is censorship and only politics and bullying are banned here. Although I did have a short story removed a while back, but in fairness I was cutting my inner thigh to create a male period :D At a certain level I like you sweet Aunty.

Thankyou deryk and Deriath. Are you brothers?
