Can you supersize my life, my country, and my world, please?
unknown

The dark, well-lit room in the back
 1
Everyone sees but no one recognizes.
 2
A greasy slimy something-patty
 3
Hisses on the stone-age grill
 4
Is there anything worse than grade-D meat?
 5
Excuse my jest, I’m just sugar-high
 6
But I won’t go crazy – I’m no cow.
 7
Strips of processed potato take a dip
 8
In a pool of fat and grease and grim
 9
“Mr. Potato head, you’re my friend right?
 10
Say no and you’ll end up like you wife.”
 11
Waterfalls of Coke, 2 cents to make
 12
But $2 to drink. Capitol Crime? I think not.
 13
What has the world come to,
 14
Revolving around the Big-Mac.
 15
No more rainbows, but the golden arches
 16
Stretch from Chicago to Beijing.
 17
Planet Starbucks dominates our lives
 18
Caffeine replaces the O in our veins
 19
Forced to live our lives like clockwork
 20
On the dime with no exceptions
 21
Though there’s always time
 22
For an über-slurpee from 7-11.
 23
There’s more to life than Pepsi and
 24
Family Guy - The couch is not a planet.
 25
Allow me to demonstrate, while juggling
 26
Apples and oranges in front of your
 27
Dull, lazy eyes. Mesmerizing.
 28
An intergalactic battle emerges!
 29
Planet Wendy’s versus the
 30
Galaxy of Athletes. Dazed and
 31
Confizzled, we have lost many a battle,
 32
But maybe we can win the war.
 33
Supersize me Captain Crunch;
 34
Can Ronald come out and play?
 35
A can of Lays, sprawled across the floor.
 36
“Why can’t you eat just one?” his mother screams;
 37
and he answers in the parlance of his 9th grade peers:
 38
 
 
“I dunno”
