American Gluttony

Copyright © 2009 Ernest Bloom.


So I go to Whataburger drive through to get a
Number one combo: a single with fries and a soda,
$4.69, and add jalapeño slices to the burger for
An extra 44¢ (tax of 31¢, for total = $5.44). I ask for
A small Dr. Pepper and am informed it is
Store policy that orders can't be downsized, so I
Get this vat of soda which I estimate to be
Twice the volume of the human stomach. And no,
I'm not going to put any damned ®s in this poem.
