The Double Beef Whoppers

It was the largest single order of the day.

The Double Beef Whoppers

 

By Elton Camp

 

To most people, I pay but little attention

But a man last week I want to mention

I was eating in the local fast-food place

That was where I first saw the guy’s face

 

The young man who walked in the door

Wasn’t anybody I’d seen there before

The look of his face I no longer recall

Rather, it was his size that did appall

 

To speak bad of another, so rude sounds

But the man weighed six hundred pounds

I hear of double chins, but his were triple

All over his body, rolls of fat did ripple

 

His upper arms were as big as my thighs

I had never seen any even near that size

Though you may doubt it, it’s no bunk

Each of his legs were as big as my trunk

 

Counter girl asked his order for today

“Fifty double beef whoppers right away.”

The server asked him just one thing more

So that she would know what to look for

 

At the thing that the counter girl then said

The fat man grinned and nodded his head

“I’m afraid didn’t hear you say, my dear.

“Is that to go, or will you eat them here?”
