Burger and fries, burger and fries,
You hang on my gut and my butt and my thighs!
I'd stop your consumption if I really were wise!
How I just hate to love you, burgers and fries!
Chili and beer, chili and beer,
A natural disaster as you pass from my rear!
When I choose you for dinner, my friends won't come near!
Oh you've ruined my social life, chili and beer!
Well...I don't give a damn about my growing size…
If you don't like my looks just close your damn eyes!
Put a clamp on your nose when the flatulence flies;
Tonight, it's chili and beer AND burgers and fries!
Author notes
This is not really new, please realize,
just here for those who love burger and fries
and a laugh for a friend, not for the prize,
so don't choke on your food and go dry your eyes....

To find why this piece is more popular than the deep ones ones you have posted, we need only to go to what P.G. Wodehouse once said about the art of writing novels. He said: "I believe there are two ways of writing novels. One is mine, making a sort of musical comedy without music and ignoring real life altogether; the other is going right deep down into life and not caring a damn..." That is why Wodehouse is more widely read than, say, Albert Camus. Most of the others about us are simple uncomplicated people. No confusion at all.

So...
The task then is to keep it light and simple yet still leave an opening for the "Aha!" experience... a way for the reader to perhaps fall into the depth of experience on their own...
Thanks for the sharing...

Burgers and fries.... a good cause to do more biking and a sad excuse to do less "bikini-ing".... Glad I could share some mirth (not to be confused with "merlin"
).
Thanks for thinking it's a winner and that I'm not a weiner (to be frank) and if I don't win, I promise not to be a whiner

ha ha ha!!! !!!
this has made my day and to many my friends here to whom i am going to send the link. how it rhymes and swings and sways! reading the second time i saw you singing the song standing before a dinner group, beer glass in hand. you spilled the whole beer joining the laughter at the end, unable to hold on to the dignified air with which you had finished the song. i put it with the very best i have ever read.

Thanks Venu. So here is a case where words can carry that aura of "something" that allows the reader to release some of the inner joy that lives in us all. Your picture is perhaps very different than what I "saw" when it came through me (because it was one of those that seemed to write itself - seems like God, the Universe, likes a good laugh too). I sometimes am a little chagrined that this piece (it's been posted here before and shared in other venues) seems to touch readers more solidly than some of those I really want to have a deep impact, but bringing some joyous light to/from others is as wondrous as sharing insights.
Peace and blessings,
Rahad

I'm so glad this brought some laughter into your life. They say laughing brings healing, so know this come deeply from my fart.... I mean heart, with wishes of joy and plenty of anticid should you try my menu tonight.
Love and blessings,
Rahad

this is by far the funniest poem I have ever read
great sense of humor and a creative mind
now that is unstoppable
as are the burgers and fries
still laughing...
God bless you my friend...

That is certain to bring a big smile to Spirit Mothers face and probably a grateful one as well that you are not standing too close. Really good fun. Thank you and good luck.
