I Should’ve Bought Tacos

The best part of America is Mexican

I was on a diet

Like 600 calories a day

And then

I saw a taco stand

It stressed me out

The pressure of it all 

Like tin crinkling in my head

Foil paper being wadded up for the trash can

Over and over

Can after Can filling up with balls of tin foil

Getting heavier and heavier

The burden al all that crinkling tin

The weight of all those garbage cans

Making me crazy

So I bought a chorizo con papas burrito

But now I just want to look at it

 

It’s so beautiful

And golden brown

Just like mi esposa makes

Like mi suegra made

Like my daughters make

Oh no 

The crinkling in my head

Is back again

Tacos ARE the best, aren't they? Not so good if you're on a diet, but hey, there is lettuce involved, so not all that is eaten is in vain! ; )
