Ode to Mickey D's

I

Severely, have I disliked you, my friend.
Mi Luna's green attachment, like the bends,
Triglycerides, oh my, oh my, the end.
But something came upon me, this night's kin.

Nuts came with your hot fudge sundae, so fine.
Each bite would hit my tummy, such relief,
As if a naughty teacher's fifth of wine
The joy you bring is lasting disbelief.

And I'm not going to lie, chicken nuggets
With sweet and sour sauce are quite divine
Like striking gold, filling up two buckets
When all I'd wanted most was just to whine.

Mickey D's I love your lasting value
Occasionally, thanks, dunno how you.

II

I travel back in time in my repose
My children running wildly in your grounds
Excitement calming, well you've got the nose
A multitude of hours in playing sounds

Mom could sit and smile and dream of wafers
Little babes get exercise and laughter
Often times I'd even grade my papers
My little ones in sight, safely captured

All of this we need as busy mothers
Cheeseburgers, fries and nuggets small a price
Once a month or so you lend us covers
A break from all the typical: white rice

I read of Mrs. McDonald's charity
It helped to lend me much in clarity

III

San Vicente Lake, hot and exhausting
Babies in tow, with friends to babysit
On the way home, meals replete with frosting
Always at your place, a favorite dish

Heat and wakeboarding, not enough water.
Doritos only satisfy, so wrong.
Filet o fish take over, though hotter,
With Powerade wash down, apples belong.

Our lake memories, the scents and the sounds
Parlays of friendships so different from mine
Combined, your relief in rescue abounds
Happy babies and me, fast food divine

Although I blamed when some things went awry,
These memories of us never shall die.

In your luscious McRib, my son schooled me
Without those pickles, it is mighty fine
My beauty's double cheeseburger spooled me
And with them beside, happily we dine

Extra value meals and deals can save us
When life decides to throw financial curves
Scary economics good for corporates
Understanding you always calms our nerves

Taco Bell may lend you competition
They have Sobe Life water, after all
How this quenches without superstition
Without calories, to boot, we stay small

Without my childhood memories, have no fear
No one tops your heart-held places, my dear

V

Here I sit most open-hearted, MD
My greatest loves adore you at key times
How could an adoring mother envy,
deprive them, or forsake these bleak end rhymes?

They sit in a neglected atmosphere
Designed to entice me unwilling there
By satanic forces' appealing drear
Like darkest winter's pretty, warming flare

I have given everything I have earned
I have bled out, pleading my heart and soul
Still the devil locks them in, deeply burned
Fearful manipulation takes its toll

I would charge my Credit One's last twenty
And beg on dark streets to give your plenty
