McWorld

Where we may be heading

Walking through the McWorld today

I started to McWonder

How long before the McSkies are filled

With patented McThunder

Quite soon the McSun will be shining down

On McFields of bland McFlowers

And we'll be measuring McTime in 

Corporate-approved McHours

The McRocks of McEarth will be uniform chunks

Of carefully portioned McGranite

And we'll all be blissfully happy

On our tasteless little McPlanet

I love the way you are able to mix light verse and humor with a serious social message. As I have said before - "Seussical". Very nicely done.

:) Thank you, Steve.

This pleasant little poem just purrs along from its McStart, to its McEnd. It's ironic how Big Business worships the Economy of Scale and Standardization for themselves, but when our government tries to do it they call it Dreaded Anti-Capitalistic Socialism. American business has a split personality. Unfortunately Big Fish (Government or Private Enterprise) often stifle progress by eating too many innovative minnows. The little fish are always in a struggle trying to find an unexplored business niche that the Big Fish can't sequester for themselves.

[Rita L. Sev]

Exactly. Thank you for your insights!

Dark Humor... I pray not Rita that this ever comes true... your right it would be tasteless, dull with no warmth...

[Rita L. Sev]

And no originality... Thanks, Renee!

i was going to say what kait did, but she beat me to it..

i'm Mcdisappointed!

such a clever piece...it has gotten that way...

and we have let it...fast food and technology and technology that makes the food faster---it's Mcdisgusting...

we think we are all eating Happy Meals...but to me the fries have gotten cold long ago.

[Rita L. Sev]

I gave up fast food long before going veg - and the "food" is only part of the whole homogenizing of society. Thanks for reading!

[jacob erin-cilberto]

yes, it is only part...as you have described in this brilliant piece...

i meant the Happy Meals in a general sense...not just food...:)
