McWages

Never let a clown do your payroll

I tried eating at McDonalds

That clown is just to weird

You shouldn't rip the workers off

where mammal flesh is seared 

God knows what's going on back there

When no one else is looking 

Perhaps they're frying donkey dicks 

Is that what they've been cooking 

I tooled on down to Burger King 

Get some chicken nuggets 

They told me we're on strike a*****e

Cross our line and suck it

We're reaping vengeance on the King 

For keeping wages down 

So we started urinating 

Into the king's ground round 

Taco Bell and Immigration 

Illegal meat surprise 

I'm pretty sure it's Burro balls 

Inside those Nacho pies 

I'm picking hooves out of my teeth 

Digesting old horse shoe 

Perchance I ate a Unicorn 

I'm shitting rainbows too 

Eating from a Colonel bucket 

Pounds of feet and gizzard

Frying cats and collarbones

Witch's brew and Lizard

Paying peanuts gets you monkeys

slinging s**t with rage

Cut off the corporate payroll teat 

raise the minimum wage 

Author's Note

By not paying their workers a living wage many corporations are welfare recipients because their employees have to rely on food stamps and government housing to survive. Coincidence? No, it isn't. It's the new America. The rich get richer and the rest of us can order from the dollar menu with our EBT card.

Fortunately, I don't go to ay of these places you mentioned. I guess I never will now.

Incidentally, I live below the poverty line myself, and I don't particularly feel sorry for welfair recipients. If they live on food stamps and in government housing, theyre living better than I am.

Thank you for your input Marie. I appreciate it

A great point Baby.The rich always gets richer while the poor gets poorer.These big organizations could care less about their employees.As long as their pockets get fatter.

[Baby Ricochet]

That's for sure. Thank you vidya

I knew this one would be a searing review! I love the way you didn't just pick on McDonald's, but all of them in general. I guess the biggest difference here is the govt. raises the min. wage and we all have universal health, so it isn't quite as dramatic in Canada, but still it does raise my ire the huge salaries of CEOs.
one minor thing, you missed the extra O in too

[Baby Ricochet]

Thanks. I'll fix it and thank you for your thoughts

[jacob erin-cilberto]

yes, it is the new america...god, i just don't want to think about what goes on back there...

but what you write all makes perfect sense...and as the Temptations sang in "Ball of Confusion"

"And the band played on..."


strong piece, Mark.

Thank you Jacob

ell, you have certainly explained, rather eloquently, why I have stopped eating meat, and ANYTHING in a fast food place. I worked for years in a Dunkin' Donuts... believe me, you do NOT want to know what goes on in there... As for your message - spot on, as always, Mark. What a disgrace that these corporations keep getting richer on the sweat of the employees, but God forbid they pay a fair wage.

[Baby Ricochet]

That's for sure. Thank you rita
