French Fries At The Louvre? Poem by Joe Rosochacki

What’s all the fuss?
France’s gastronomical foothold on French cuisine is about to take a nose dive,
I bet all would cuss.
At the Louvre, the epitome of fine art,
-where Da Vincis and Rembrandts which are on show.
Is where a McDonalds restaurant is opening, what a blow.
Parisians should drink a lot red wine,
To combat their future high blood pressure
--and cholesterol that would impede blood flow to their heart.
Beef Buorguinon replaced by a quarter pounder with cheese?
Or French Onion Soup being replaced by Onion Rings.
And at the Eiffel Tower is where they can build better Burger Kings?
Next to the paintings of ladies, that is somewhat ‘Reubenesque’,
The men and the women each will stand with a 2,300 calorie meal in hand,
Julia Childs gave us 'Mastering the Art of French Cooking',
Bet Julia Childs isn’t looking,
Because the fast food industry is consuming every bit of land.
It is certainly grotesque.
