French Fry Etiquette

French Fry Etiquette

written by: Judge Burdon

 

She left me sitting alone in McDonald’s
Didn’t take a bite of her Big Mac
Or touch a single one of her French Fries
She grabbed her Coke then walked away
And never even looked back
I thought about eating the fries
Although I had lost my appetite
It wasn’t because I was hurt by the drama
She spreads ketchup on top of all of them
Instead of dipping each fry
I’m sure you know
the type
When it comes to eating French fries
Her method doesn’t follow proper etiquette
Even though it bothered me I never said a word
Because she gets pissed off so quickly
And becomes
belligerent
I didn’t understand what just happened
It left me totally confused
Why did she Super Size her order
If she wasn’t going to eat the food
We had a date to go for dinner
I couldn’t figure out why she got upset
I told her she looked gorgeous
But maybe a little overdressed
She looked surprised when we arrived
And said McDonald’s you’ve got to be kidding
How insensitive of me to take her to McDonald’s for dinner
Knowing her favorite hamburger joint is Burger King
