Ode to Junk Food

Our life-giving fountain,

Our ruler supreme,

Our fat-dripping, chocolate-sprinkled

Angels in quarantine.

They fit every fancy,

Every whim, every mood.

Yes, let’s give three cheers 

For Junk Food!

The dribbling cheese of a margarita pizza,

A hot buttered chocolate croissant.

The weak quickly give in and fall senseless.

The strong think they can hold out but can't.

A lemon almond meringue is an anytime lifesaver.

Sizzling hot dogs with mustard- delish.

Can’t you just taste the unhealthy goodness

Of such a delicious dish?

Oh, lose yourself in a chocolate brownie.

Eat cakes and chips galore

Bring some goodies into your life

And you will love it more.

Now, if you’ll excuse me.

I need to replenish my hoard

And if you want me you can find me

In the candy store!
