A satire...

I thought I'd originate a post (just for a change), was thinking
about exactly how pissed off McD's made me and the following
just sort of happened...

(Satire.)

Since crocky Kroc set up his stall
His babe has grown without a fall
Surpassing other burger bars,
The biggest chain beneath the stars,
and staff in every town and mall
Have felt the mighty Big Mac call

When total is their global sway
Will then their lawyers have the say?
On truth and who can speak in peace
and hushing up their lies in grease
Waving chains to keep at bay
The nasty Greens who wreck the day

Should scientists dispute your claim
to "being green", then black their name!
Just wipe your blatant misdeeds out
with universal business clout.
If all else fails, hand out blame
On people who expose your shame.

Still libel writs will do the trick
On small fry who still fear a stick
Subvert the law to fit your will
If you're going to foot the bill!
Never mind the poor or sick
When keeping public image slick!

Let Ronald rule your hearts as well
Deodorize the rotten smell!
But let the folk not see the frown
Upon the planet-killing clown.
Just watch out what you buy and sell
Or make our world a living hell.

Gideon.
