The World's Best Food Served Here

One place was refreshingly honest.

The World’s Best Food Served Here

 

By Elton Camp

 

Judd’s Hamburger Shack does tell

That the world’s best is what we sell

And about a mile on down the street,

“Our fine fried chicken can’t be beat.”

 

Another says, “Try our famous catfish.

For none better can you possibly wish.”

There’s “Vegetables cooked homestyle

Our food is just extremely worthwhile.”

 

Then, “Our delicious desserts are yummy.

Come put some of them into your tummy.”

And “Our spicy Mexican food is a treat.

We guarantee that it can’t possibly be beat.”

 

Then I see “Come and eat Japanese style.

So, do yourself a favor and give it a trial.”

On and on the restaurants proudly boast

And claim that their food is just the most

 

But near the edge of town is a place I see

Its truth in advertising is amazing to me

It looks like a clean little Chinese place

And no extravagant words does it waste

 

“OK Chinese Food,” the sign does say

Means the food’s not great, but it is okay?

Poor command of English might it be?

Or perhaps it is an example of honesty
