Fast Food Poem by D.N. Rebb

Fast Food

Rating: 5.0

That second joint I smoked
Couple o' hours ago
Still givin' me a buzz
As I'm playin' my bongos

Got hold by the munchies
I think I'm okay to drive
First stop, the ATM
Profess the machine's alive

Hey Mr. Robot,
Can ya lend me a twenty?
Don't eat my card now
I still need it at Wendy's

Thanks Dude Cyborg, see ya around
Where is that dark snaky drive-thru again?
Wendy sure looks real hot tonight
Did the speaker just claim Lord Christ Amen?

My heart skips a beat, I say, Pardon?
She adds, my name is Adrianne,
Welcome, what can I get ya?
Said, yet need a bit a time to plan

The on-screen menu keeps changing
Really hate when it does that
Maybe I could order by heart
Said one Burghamer, and laughed

Adrianne, Lord Christ Amen
Does not miss a beat
Asks if I want fries with that
God, she is so sweet

Guessing, cheese on the burger?
I said, yes, sweetheart, please
Do you want a coke to drink?
Fallin' in love with ease

That'll be twelve fifty
Drive to the second window
Was now keener in her
Then my fine fast food to-go

The sliding window opens
Some oldish broad takes my money
She hands me the food and winks
I'm off in an hour, honey

Oh well, what the freakin' hell
What have I gotta lose
Adrianne, Lord Christ Amen
My new lady to schmooze

A witty tribute to the bohemian lifestyle and fast food. Voices can be pretty deceiving re: the person's actual appearance. Fun poem to start off my day!
