The pudgy prince said to the pretty pauper

Will you marry me

We can spend our lives together

Forever rich and merrily

We will have things and toys

Like no others ever see

You could have a little pet

The sweetest little puppy

We can throw it sticks

While we consume, cakes and coffee

And should the in-town weather

Becomes a tad too cloudy

We can go to my country estate

And be crazy rowdy

If you want your music

To be tonk with lotsa honky

Or if you want to watch

Netflix on wide screen TV

Or drive in my Rolls Royce

Long-side the deep blue sea

And be assured life

Will go on wild and free

Then will you, my little shapely turtle dove

Come and marry me 

But, said the truly gorgeous, pauper girl

We shan’t give that a whirl            

In addition to consuming too much booze

You can't pass-by fast-food drive-through’s

When you should have been selecting healthier dishes

Those choices you’ve made were simply not nutritious

Your rear-end result being that

You’re much, much, much too flabby and fat

An unhealthy condition which you ought to combat

And I’m inclined to think that health authorities

Through each country, city and all towns

Should shut fast-food drive-through’s down

Which would allow you to repeat your marriage sounds

After you’ve lost at least, two hundred bleeping pounds

 

The bountiful, bulging, bulbous, bellied prince responded

By issuing a decree

That fast-food drive throughs should be terminated

Which should be done, absolutely instantly

However, the citizenry of this great prince’s land

Rebelled pon said issuance of this demand

This then causing him a mighty groan

As the great mass, removed him from his throne

Leaving him too poor to even walk through

The very cheapest food drive through

Untill, one day in an alley way, off a filthy street

The ever- thinning ex-prince, saw his two feet

Because his great, gorged gut, was no longer replete

And by chance, the gorgeous pauper girl appeared

Who seeing him 200lbs. down, was instantly cheered

And the great mass, pon seeing their wedding ring

Employed him now to become their loving King

With the moral being, of this strange to do

Not to overindulge in any,  fast-food drive-through
