Man, oh man,
again the shit has hit the fan!
This is the third war I have gotten to report to you,
but the last two weren’t nothing like this, I can assure you.
I am terrified to be here in the middle of it all,
and I am confident enough to say our world as we know it will surely fall.
This war began when junk food just got tired of all the bogus claims,
and decided that they were going to send all the healthy food up in flames.
I’m standing here with disbelief written all over my face,
as I watch all kinds of food showing such disgrace.
There are Big Macs throwing their special sauce at baby carrots,
while the lettuce is being ate up by ferrets.
Old McDonald is not happy one bit,
his happy meals tell him that if he makes them put veggies on that they will split.
Burger King is no longer the king of the land,
Tofu ran him out of town, now they have the upper hand!
Veggies of all kinds are banning together to fight to the end,
but the junk food appears to be winning, and their rights they will defend.
Chickens are tired of being broiled, baked and boiled,
they’ve learned how to fly and now our streets they have soiled!
Cows are declaring that their milk has dried up,
and that we aren’t even allowed one little cup!
Candy bars of all kinds are throwing french-fries as spears,
while a team of suckers is setting back drinking a few beers.
People are growing hungry, but don’t know what to do,
all the food has gone crazy just like chicken cordon bleu.
I’m standing here with an empty belly as others are too,
I do not know what we will eat after this war is through!

My first laugh of the day!!! Thank you!
Junk foods fighting healthy foods makes for some good laughs!
Your poem has humor in every line and is a delightful trip into a strange world of food against food! 
The Big Macs throwing their special sauce at baby carrots is so funny! I wish this could be made into a cartoon. You should send it to a film maker. Junk Food Wars would make such a funny cartoon.
