Ronald MacDonald has now crossed the line,
With a ‘McD’s’ on every corner for us to dine,
From Australia to Europe, they had it controlled,
But they couldn’t expand, they reached the threshold.
The demand was so large for their burgers and fries,
They were running out of meat to cannibalize,
So a genius at corporate had this first-rate proposal,
To buy Africa and the animals for their disposal.
Soon MacDonald’s covered the African nation,
Assimilating the animals to Americanization,
Feeding all species and making them obese,
Wringing their hands as the waistlines increased,
They were easy to hunt since they could no longer run,
And provided more meat to fill up more buns,
A perfect farmland for breeding as populations spread,
Too lazy to hunt, they just waited to be fed.
Overweight animals dotted the terrain,
Their numbers increased, it could not be contained,
More mouths to feed, their bulks just too great,
They started to collapse under their own massive weight,
And apart from that, the people started to taste,
That the beef in the burgers had been replaced,
With hippo and lion and giraffe and monkey,
The meat was all fat, too tough and too chunky.
MacDonald’s were right in their blind presumption,
Burgers could be anything, it wouldn’t stop consumption,
But eventually the animals became too fat to breed,
And MacDonald’s were undone by their customer’s greed,
Now the wildlife in Africa is as extinct as that clown,
A devil in pajamas that b(r)ought all species down,
So the next burger you eat do you have the belief,
That is it indeed one hundred percent pure beef?

haha! This was a great poem about Mcdonalds. Mcdonalds is awsome though. Here was my favorite part:
Soon MacDonald’s covered the African nation,
Assimilating the animals to Americanization,
Feeding all species and making them obese,
Wringing their hands as the waistlines increased,
They were easy to hunt since they could no longer run,
And provided more meat to fill up more buns,
A perfect farmland for breeding as populations spread,
Too lazy to hunt, they just waited to be fed.
Overall this was a great poem. Keep up the great work!
