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

[Rita L. Sev]

[Amy Azra Dean]

haha, what a fun poem! clever too! it has made me smile!

[Rita L. Sev]

Always glad to give a smile! Thanks.

[Robert James Parfett]

Very well written and a fun poem to get accross a rather serious message. Like it a lot. Not sure your students would agree that it's a bad thing though. They would probably like to live on McEarth!

[Rita L. Sev]

True, Robert, but it may make them think about it a bit. Thanks for the review!

[JR Darewood]

Did you know the Happy Birthday Song is patented? Great comment on copyright. But don't let Monsanto read it, they'll sick their lawyers on you and then we'll never hear from you again...

[Rita L. Sev]

Actually had a similar thought. That's why I did not use the Golden Arches image! Thanks, J!

[Damien Thibodeaux]

Feeling a bit philosophically prophetic, eh? While society hides in their McMansions? Very clever write. I enjoy everything you do.

[Rita L. Sev]

Thank you so much, Damien. Yes, sometime the commercialism and sameness gets to me!

[Will]

Commentary on the commercialization of our society? At least that's how I read it. Great work, and the frequent us if Mc- adds a sassy tone to it. Great work

[Rita L. Sev]

Thank you, Will. Yes, commercialism, consumerism, the loss of individuality in our society...

[musicgeek5]

This is very well-written! The uses of Mc- are very clever. It also makes you think... Love it!

[Rita L. Sev]

Much appreciated!
